Two Scientists Walk Into A Bar: “We are scientists. Ask us anything!”

We love this! What sounds like the beginning of a rather bad joke, Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar™ is actually a fun community program by the Fleet Science Center.

During Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar™, local scientists will enjoy something we all do: a good conversation in a local bar.

Join them, and ask them anything you want! They’ll be easy to spot. Just look for the sign that reads: “We are scientists. Ask us anything!”
