Check out these photos from our 2024 event "Proton Precision: Inside Emory's Proton Therapy Center," presented by the Emory Proton Therapy Center. We had a blast learning how high energy proton beams target cancer with sub-millimeter precision!

Guerilla Haiku Movement

It's so gouda, we had to post about it— Happy National ! Throwback to our partnership with Emory University and Capella Cheese for our Science of Cheese event at the 2024 !

Today we're throwing it back to our 2024 event "Performing Data: Neurodegenerative Disease Research and Lived Experience Share the Stage."

We loved experiencing "Piece of Mind" and then being able to ask our most pressing questions to the panel of experts afterwards!

Presented by Emory University, Georgia Tech, McGill University, and National Circus School of Montreal - Centre for Circus Arts Research, Innovation and Knowledge Transfer.

Saturday is BACK! On Saturdays, we'll share a science haiku ("sciku") from our 2024 via Guerilla Haiku Movement. Check out our first 2024 Sciku!

In recognition of National Volunteer Week, our most sincere thanks goes out to Thomas for supporting Science ATL in every capacity imaginable - including answering the call to serve as our mascot ALEX, the bright pink and often very warm astronaut suit at all of our events! We appreciate all you do for Science ATL!

Our behind-the-scences volunteers often fly under the radar since much of their work goes unseen. Not today, folks. Thank you, Jaleh, for the countless hours and meticulous work you did to inventory, fold, and mail hundreds of shirts for ASF! Because of you, our volunteers looked so good in their new festival tees this year. Visit our online store if you would like one!

In honor of National Volunteer Week and celebrating service to our community, we are so grateful for our exceptional volunteer Antonio who supported so many Festival events and visited multiple classrooms to inspire students underrepresented in STEM. Gracias, Antonio!

Wish you could attend the Atlanta Science Festival all year round?
