Whether you’re a science enthusiast or a lifelong learner, our Front Row lecture series is designed for you.



From protein “choreography” to immune system-boosting sugars to regenerative medicines, learn about the trailblazing discoveries at Scripps Research that could transform human health.

The Front Row experience… science so close, it’s personal.

When you join us on campus for a Front Row lecture, you’ll experience science like never before. You’ll hear directly from our scientists and have the opportunity to ask your own questions and converse with other attendees and Scripps Research scientists following the lecture. You can even conduct your own experiment at our Science in Action stations, designed to share the thrill of discovery.

Or, attend virtually with thousands of people from around the globe who tune in to marvel at the breakthrough discoveries presented.

Enter curious, leave informed.
