Science on Tap Minocqua
Forget the lecture, at Science on Tap-Minocqua, you won’t find jargon or a PowerPoint presentation – we search for scientists who are good at well, not sounding like a scientist. Our topics are wide ranging, spanning issues from bacteria to bees and from a search for life on other planets to a search for the perfect pint.
The series provides a forum where the public engages experts in an informal, two-way conversation about important issues of the day. Speakers provide 15 or 20-minutes of opening remarks, then the floor is opened for questions, letting the audience join the conversation. The result is a dynamic, engaging community gathering.
Events are held at Rocky Reef Brewing Company, a brewery in Woodruff, on the first Thursday of each month. Starting in January 2024 we will be switching back to the first Wednesday of the Month. This relaxed setting, combined with the accessible format, fosters public engagement. But you don't have to make your way to the brewery to join the discussion- you can also watch a live stream from your home over your own internet connection or watch archived programs online.
Free, fun and open to everyone! We hope you'll join us at Rocky Reef for Science On Tap Minocqua!
Science on Tap-Minocqua is the result of a unique partnership among UW-Madison’s Trout Lake Station, UW-Madison’s Kemp Natural Resources Station, the Lakeland-Badger chapter of the Wisconsin Alumni Association, the Minocqua Public Library, WXPR, and Rocky Reef Brewing Company that exemplifies the Wisconsin Idea – that the boundaries of the university are the boundaries of the state.
