About us
Fascinated by science? Want to learn from experts, discuss ideas with peers, and do it all while exploring Austin? Welcome to Science Seekers ATX.
(For all events and live updates follow us on Instagram!)
Austin is home to an excellent array of science events, from Star Parties to Physics on the Rocks, and this group is here to connect you with all of it. We’ll organize meetups at various science outreach events around the city and host social gatherings to dive deeper into the topics that spark people’s curiosity.
By joining, we’ll keep you informed about all the upcoming events across various subjects, provide carpools to the more distant ones, and connect you with a community that shares your passion for science. Our group is open to everyone, and we’re especially fortunate to have some science faculty from local universities among our members!

On the first Tuesday of every month, the UT Austin Physics department presents "Physics on the Rocks" hosted by Darwin's Pub and Piano Bar. This is a fun, informal event where physics faculty and students give a series of short talks on a variety of topics (ranging from the physics of beer bubbles to debates about the multiverse and everything in-between) meant to be accessible to a general audience. There's a lot of time to chat in between the talks and to ask questions of the speakers. Come have a drink and learn and discuss physics with us!
Stay afterwards for live music! It's a great venue and the owner is a fellow science enthusiast!See Instagram as well for the event info.
