10 June 2023, Talk That Science live anniversary event

Talk That Science is a science-communication platform run by a group of science and music enthusiasts. Every month, we broadcast a radio show on echobox.radio, in which we talk about cool research while playing some nice tunes.

To celebrate our 3 year anniversary, to launch our brand new website, and to connect with our show’s guests and listeners, we will be hosting a Talk That Science event in De Sering, Amsterdam this June 10th. It will be a day full of science talks, live music and food.
