The San Antonio host committee invites you to celebrate the contributions of our scientific community and their journey of discovery at our Día de los Científicos (Day of the Scientists) lunch event.
Enjoy lunch and engaging conversation with one of 16 scientists from across San Antonio who will discuss current studies on topics from infectious diseases to wound care to fracking to cybersecurity and more. Due to the informal nature of the lunch sessions, those wishing to attend one of the tours that leaves at 1 p.m. can sign up for a Día de los Científicos session and still have time to leave at 1:15 p.m. to catch the bus to one of the two tour sites.
