Torrance Center for Creativity and Talent Development presents the 2023 Torrance Festival of Ideas
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF ATHENS SCIENCE CAFÉ - Jordan Argrett
The goal of the Athens Science Café (ASC) is to facilitate a connection between the scientific community of Athens, GA, and the Athens community at large. We do so by hosting scientific conversations similar to a TED talk at local breweries and coffee shops. It is our current mission to reach a more diverse group of Athenians. To do this, we tailor café topics for our audience based on community feedback and hold free events at accessible community spaces in and around the university. Jordan is a second-year graduate student and the director of Athens Science Cafe. As his first year in charge of ASC, Jordan is poised to elevate ASC in any way possible. He hopes to bring diversity to ASC by inviting underrepresented speakers, expanding our partnerships with venues, and partnering with organizations who share our mission to highlight the excellent research conducted at UGA with all members of the Athens community.
