๐ฅ๏ธ In September we added new programs: the
Night Science Seminars, where speakers combine a science talk with descriptions of their creative process and behind-the-scenes looks at how projects developed. This online series is off to a great start - we have had three exciting talks already, and a new one coming up in December (check it out below๐๐ผ). You can subscribe to the series and catch up on talks you missed
here.
๐ฌ We also launched an
online community to support the movement - it is still growing, and is a great place to meet other people interested in scientific creativity. Why not sign up today and meet some new Night Science enthusiasts? We support local chapters, talk about the book club and share our own scientific and creative journeys.
๐ Lastly if you are looking for a holiday gift for that special someone in your life, why not check out the Night Science merch? A mug or our "a hypothesis is a liability" tee might be just what they are hoping for!
As always, the Institute works for you - our community - and we are always grateful for feedback and ideas. Please reach out at oliver@night-science.org. The newsletter will be back on January 6th, 2026!
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year from the Night Science Institute
