Everything is Science, Lexington’s citywide science festival, returns for its fifth year with an exciting new theme: It’s About Time!?
What can seem like an intimidating topic is, in reality, quite relatable — from the moment we wake up in the morning, science is happening all around us — at every moment in time. Making science accessible in a fun and interactive way is essential in helping people feel more connected to science and the city of Lexington as a whole.
Each year, a group of students and employees at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, along with other campus and community partners, work together to show Lexington that science is all around us, not just in the research labs. Everything is Science is held at different locations throughout the city, with events happening Monday through Friday. The festival features presentations, demonstrations and conversations in laid-back spaces, like local restaurants, pubs and breweries. Speakers aim to bring an uncomplicated approach to topics that we may not initially consider science-related.
EiS is still accepting speaker submissions for the 2023 festival. If you are interested in becoming a speaker visit the festival page to learn more. The deadline to submit the speaker interest form is Dec. 31, 2022. Email eis@uky.edu with any questions about becoming a volunteer or speaker.
