Science Cafés and Café Conversations are venues for students to informally share their interests during a conversational exchange with faculty, staff, and the community in a friendly setting.
We are working toward live captioning of the cafes for future events. Any individual who needs captioning in order to access a video should contact male-bru@ohio.edu.
