UConn Science Salon presents
Kelp Confidential: Secrets of Connecticut's Culinary Seaweed Scene
Thursday, April 12, 2018 at 6 p.m.
The Maritime Aquarium, 10 N. Water St., Norwalk CT 06854
Crunchy, munchy, delicious, and nutritious, seaweed is having a comestible moment. You can find it
everywhere from high-end restaurants to the shelves of Trader Joe’s. Happily for the state, Connecticut’s
coastline is prime seaweed territory, and the industry is expanding. At the next UConn Science Salon,
we’ll hear from local chefs, growers, and scientists on how we grow it, cook it, and enjoy it.
Join us on April 12 at the Maritime Aquarium for a salty discussion.
Seaweed snacks, refreshments, and networking begin at 6 p.m.; panelist program starts at 6:30. Click here to learn more.
$15 admission includes one drink and appetizers. Register here.
Science and Culture, With Style
UConn Science Salon is a series of exciting science café events designed to encourage public discourse at the intersection of science and culture. Alumni, business leaders, friends, and guests join top UConn scientists and researchers to examine technological developments, debate health and human behavior, and collaboratively advance discussions on current issues in a fun atmosphere.
At each event you’ll meet experts in their fields, learn new information about exciting topics, and have a chance to network with fellow attendees while talking science and enjoying a cocktail. We hope you’ll join us!
