Studying Science in Philadelphia – Part 2
The formal part of an education in the science typically takes place at a college or university. Philadelphia provides many other opportunities to learn science. A good education in science extends beyond the classroom.
In the fall the Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild has their Honey Fest. In 2011 there were Fest events at Wagner Free Institute of Science, Wyck House, and Bartram Gardens. Last year was also the first year of the Philadelphia Science Festival. There were a variety of events, some formal, some entertaining, at locations around the city. You can see highlights from 2011 and follow what is planned for 2012 at
I should be writing more about 2012 events in future posts to this blog.
Opportunities to learn science can occur in some unexpected places. Earth Bread and Brewery in the Mt. Airy section of the city is host to Table Top Science one evening each month. USciences students fill the evening with entertaining and informative chemistry related activities. The next show is planned for Tuesday, January 24, 2012. More information about the venue is available at the website and on Facebook.
