Bay Area Science Festival

Today, UCSF Vice Chancellor Keith Yamamoto, San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee, and Congressional Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi were on-hand at UCSF's Mission Bay campus to announce the First Annual Bay Area Science Festival (running Oct. 29-Nov. 6).

Featuring more than 100 free events, the inaugural Bay Area Science Festival will bring together an unprecedented brain trust of the region’s scientific and educational partners to produce what is expected to be one of the largest science-based events ever held in the United States.

The San Francisco Bay Area is known for its groundbreaking work in science and technology, yet many who call the Bay Area home have little opportunity to experience the wonder of science. Led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the Bay Area Science Festival is designed to inspire and build interest in science, technology and engineering among people of all ages and backgrounds.
The public will be invited to this series of events stretching from Santa Rosa to San Jose, including opportunities to experience science in action and hear about the latest scientific discoveries and culminating in a blow-out finale at AT&T Park.
