AMOS is proud to announce that the next year of pubs are sponsored in part by Explore Asheville Convention & Visitors Bureau.
This is the fifth year AMOS has collaborated with local scientists and breweries to present the Science Pub series free to the public. Prior Science Pub topics have included gravitational waves, the science of brewing beer, dog behavior, neuroscience of bias, the value of WNCs food systems, Neanderthals, and more.
The Collider, an innovation center for climate solutions, has partnered with the museum to co-host the 2018 Science Pub series. The two nonprofit organizations are located in the same building: AMOS on the ground floor at 43 Patton Ave. and The Collider on the top floor, overlooking Pritchard Park.
