What is Open Mic Science?

"Open Mic Science" invites the community to an evening at The Treehouse Café on Bainbridge Island to explore ideas in all aspects of science and technology in an informal, social setting. Talks are held the first Tuesday of every month at 8 PM. Enjoy pizza and beer, and stay abreast of current knowledge. Open Mic Science, A Bainbridge Science Café, is based on the principles of Cafe Scientifique and is committed to the public understanding of science. 

Intellectual curiosity required.
No specific science knowledge needed. 

All talks are Free

When:  8pm on the first Tuesday of the month
Where:  The Treehouse Cafe
               4569 Lynwood Center Road NE
               Bainbridge Island, WA 98110

New OMS Season begins October 1st!
​

Please join us on Tuesday October 1st at 8:00pm at the Treehouse Cafe to hear Tyler Cox, PhD student in Atmospheric Science at the University of Washington. 
 
Topic:  Climate Models Revealed: Understanding what climate models are and how we use them

Description: 
Climate change is forcing society to confront dramatic changes to our natural world, which will only be exacerbated in the coming decades and centuries. Global climate models are one of our best tools for predicting the future of earth's climate, but how do these models work and why do climate scientists trust them?

Biography: 
Tyler Cox is a PhD student in Atmospheric Science at the University of Washington. His research is primarily focused on the role that atmospheric heat transport has on moderating earth's climate. He uses idealized climate model simulations to determine the fundamental physics that drive this heat transport. He also works on climate outreach to the community through the department outreach program and as a member of both the UW Program on Climate Change Graduate Student Steering Committee and College of the Environment Student Advisory Council.​
