About Us

In an increasingly divided world, we have more in common than we might think.

We all inhabit the same universe, breathe the same air, and share the same basic human needs. At Beaker Street, we invite people from all walks of life to peer through the lens of science. Here, impossible problems invite ingenious solutions, and uncertainty is a reason to come together — not to take sides.  Together — through eye-opening conversations, mind-expanding experiences, or just over a cold drink — we can uncover our shared reality. Common ground can be found in the most unexpected of places. See you at Beaker Street, where science brings us together.
