50 Scientists. 25 Bars. One Night.

All Over San Diego County.

What sounds like the beginning of a rather bad joke 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.

We are excited to announce TWO special editions of Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar®

March 10

Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar—Climate Change at Mike Hess Brewing.

Join the Fleet Science Center and UC San Diego to learn about the effects of climate change. Only 24% of respondents in a recent poll said they believe climate change will have a great impact on them. Learn about the many obvious and not-so-obvious ways climate change will likely touch all our lives—everything from more extreme natural disasters to health issues, water quality concerns and even financial impacts. We’ll also talk about what we can do about it.

Areas of conversation will include, but are not limited to:

Health impact of climate change

Local flood risk and coastal impact of climate change

Ocean acidification and its impact on coral reefs

Recyclable technologies for energy storage

The economics of climate change

Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2020

Time: 6 to 8 p.m.

Location: Mike Hess Brewing, 3812 Grim Ave, San Diego, CA 92104
