<strong>Blue Point Brewery</strong></p>
<p>Come out to Wardenclyffe Science Pub for an evening that’s part talk show, part trivia competition, and all fascinating, weird, and wildly fun science.</p>
<p>Inspired by the bold curiosity of Nikola Tesla, whose groundbreaking ideas once sparked discovery at Wardenclyffe, this lively event celebrates big questions, new technologies, and the joy of learning something unexpected.</p>
<p>Hosted by Richard Jordan, the evening features brilliantly nerdy guest speakers sharing short talks and lively conversations that blend science, storytelling, and humor. Together, they’ll explore discoveries shaping our world—from robots and AI to lasers, particle beams, outer space, and beyond.</p>
<p>Then, put your brainpower to the test as the night wraps up with a science and tech trivia competition inspired by our guest speakers, with prizes for the winners.</p>
<p>Presented in collaboration with Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe and Blue Point Brewery, Science Pub brings together great minds, great conversations, and great drinks while supporting the mission to restore Nikola Tesla’s last remaining laboratory.</p>
<p>Come curious, come thirsty, and enjoy the ride.</p>
