About the Houston Science events calendar

We publicize local science, technology and geeky-arts events because we love this stuff and want to see bigger crowds of smart and curious people.

Click on events in the agenda to the right or calendar at bottom for more extensive descriptions, mostly lifted from the event websites but with additional commentary when possible.

For volunteer-organized gatherings and outings, check out the Houston Science Club on Meetup.

Criteria for Inclusion

Please send your events to houston.science@gmail.com that:
  • Are open to and with reasonable accommodations for the public (e.g., plenty of seating and parking).
  • Have complete details and directions in your e-mail or on a website for which you've sent a link. Clearly note any membership requirements or admission fees.
  • Include grown-ups (we're trying not to duplicate efforts of sites that focus on kids).
  • Occur outside of normal working hours. Exceptions will be rare, unless you're somewhere (such as the Med Center and Rice) within short walking distance of many science-aware people.
If in doubt, send it in! We'll also be working on mechanisms to support comments on pre- and post-event socializing (for example, the Meetup group linked above).

Water focus at HMNS and Houston Garden Center

Note the two events on the calendar in one evening, August 8, around Hermann Park:

* Elixir: A History of Water and Humankind, a talk by anthropologist Brian Fagan, Ph.D., of UCSB, at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, 7 p.m.

* Water Collecting & Water Conservation, a panel discussion at the Houston Garden Club, right next door to HMNS.

With just a bit more coordination between neighboring organizations, this could have been way more powerful.
