No data points or confusing graphs… just evenings of fun, approachable science and incredible Montana beer with our Flathead community. Presentations start at 6:30 pm.

Brought to you by the Flathead Lakers, Flathead Lake Biological Station, and the Flathead Lake Brewing Co.
Science on Tap-Flathead is an informal community gathering to discuss science around the lake, region, world… and sometimes beyond. We invite local scientists and researchers in our community to discuss and present their work and results in ways that are easy to understand and light on data and graphs.

Science on Tap-Flathead is a fun, family-friendly event in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Bring your curiosity and enjoy yourself!
