Join us for the kick-off of the inaugural Underground Science Festival by celebrating scientists and luminaries whose contributions to history never received the credit they deserve.
Rosalind Franklin was a pioneer in molecular biology whose x-ray crystallographic photography was instrumental in understanding the double helix structure of DNA. But thanks to the sexism ingrained in science at the time, her role in this historic discovery were only recognized posthumously. Which is like… SOME BULLSHIT.
“Rosalind Franklin’s Revenge” is your chance to hear her story and the stories of other scientists who got totally boned by history!
Lineup TBA!

Subversive science comedy, unconventional deep dives into the failures that drive science, and introductions to the unsung and forgotten science heroes who should have gotten credit all along. Come have a drink with us and go home smarter.
