Sip, Snack, and Explore the Universe With Science Friday!

Celebrate the end of the year SciFri-style with an unforgettable night of science, stories, snacks, and seriously good vibes. This special fundraiser brings together Science Friday host Ira Flatow and award-winning physicist Dr. Sean M. Carroll for a one-night-only deep dive into The Biggest Ideas in the Universe—live on stage at WNYC's The Greene Space.

This is your chance to drink, snack, and geek out with two of the biggest names in science…all while supporting Science Friday’s mission to make science joyful, accessible, and irresistible.

What to Expect

🍷 Open Bar + Epic Cheese & Charcuterie Spread
Kick things off with a festive OPEN BAR featuring wine, beer, and soft drinks—paired with an out-of-this-world food experience from Murray’s Cheese. Expect cheese boards, bites, and savory treats that are just as mind-expanding as the physics you'll hear about.

🧠 A Conversation That Bends Space, Time, and Maybe Your Brain
Ira and Dr. Carroll will unpack everything from the basics of physics to the mysteries of time, black holes, and the blurry boundary between science and philosophy. Smart, curious vibes guaranteed.

❓ Ask Your Big Questions
Got thoughts about the nature of reality? The multiverse? Why time moves forward? This is your moment. Audience Q&A included.

Bring your book, get it signed, and enjoy a relaxed hang with fellow science fans, Ira, and Dr. Carroll.
