What we’re about
If you are excited by science - but not necessarily a science professional - and you live in the Atlanta area, then the Atlanta Science Tavern is the meetup for you.
Our program is centered on a fourth Saturday of the month meeting at a tavern or brewery, which features a speaker - typically a scientist from a nearby university or research center - who presents his or her work to a smart general audience of science enthusiasts. We also host occasional presentations as part of our ongoing Young Researchers Series, which features talks by graduate students and postdocs.
In addition, we organize social outings and field trips that provide opportunities for our members to experience science as it expresses itself in the community at large. Public lectures at local universities, most prominently the Georgia Tech College of Sciences, are a mainstay of our meetup calendar.
See you at the Tavern!
Cheers,
- The Science for Georgia team
Note:
- Unapproved soliciting of any kind is not allowed at our events.

# Indoor Mushroom Cultivation
August 26th, 2025
7pm - 9pm
In Person
Location: Mutation Brewing Co, 5825 Roswell Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328## Description
Accessible mushroom cultivation can foster stronger communities and a more sustainable food system. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a commercial grower, our goal is to simplify the growing process, increase yields, and unlock the incredible potential of fungi. MycoLogic committed to advancing the art and science of cultivation while making it accessible to all.
Driven by a commitment to sustainable and community-focused agriculture, they collaborate with local Georgia growers like Gowin Valley Farms, Ellijay Mushrooms, 4Fungi’s, and Greenbox Mushrooms, providing them with the tools and knowledge to thrive. Their team of experts in microbiology, agriculture, engineering, and business is dedicated to empowering growers with affordable, effective cultivation systems.
Join us as Kyle Gabriel teaches us their science behind their work and how you can apply this knowledge in the home.

Mad Scientists, Sad Jokes
A special Jazz Hands Science Comedy to Save ScienceClick here to purchase tickets
Science funding is under attack and Scientists are losing jobs. We no longer have anyone watching what they do. What happens when scientists have too much free time. They go a little MAD and start telling JOKES!
Every year we train a cohort of scientists, technologists, engineers, mathematicians, physicians (anyone STEM-adjacent) in the art of stand-up comedy. The result? A live stand-up show where normal science & technology professionals tell jokes about their work and studies.
Laugh! Maybe learn something! Support some comedy and keep our scientists happy!Click here to purchase tickets
