GREENSBORO, N.C. — As the role of technology in our lives grows, so does our need to understand complex scientific issues. To promote better understanding of science, UNCG created Science on Tap, an informal discussion series featuring university faculty.

The talks take place 7:30-9 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at the Green Bean, a coffee house at 321 S. Elm Street in downtown Greensboro. Sponsored by the UNCG Office of Research and Economic Development, Science on Tap is in its second year.

Two events remain during the fall semester.

• Nov. 3 – “The Chemistry of Cooking” – Dr. Brent Dawson, assistant professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

• Dec. 1 – “Privacy in the Digital Age” – Dr. Stephen R. Tate, professor and head, Department of Computer Science.
