Q&A

Scripps Research Front Row Lecture Series Experience - lecture Q&A
At the end of the lecture, you’ll have the opportunity to ask your own questions during a brief Q&A session. We take questions from both in-person and virtual attendees. We’re always thrilled to receive an abundance of questions, and we try to get through as many as we can. Even if your question doesn’t get answered, it provides insight into topics our audience wants to know more about.

Reception

Scripps Research Front Row Lecture Series Experience - reception
Following the lecture and Q&A, guests are invited to a courtyard reception featuring complimentary bites and beverages. Mix and mingle with fellow attendees and Scripps Research scientists and stop by our Science in Action stations.
Staffed by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who work in the lab of that day’s speaker, Science in Action brings you even closer to the research with hands-on activities, exciting demonstrations, and a chance to converse with the team behind the research.
