Arizona State University hosts the Origins Project - a series of science-related discussions and debates hosted by theoretical physicist Dr. Lawrence Krauss. Past debates included the Origins of Deception (looking at how our brains are actually wired to allow deception and illusions), Climate Change, and the Storytelling of Science (where leading scientists like Richard Dawkins, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Bill Nye the Science Guy described how they became interested in science and influenced their career paths). These are great events to attend and learn and discuss afterwards over cocktails - always enjoyable. Tickets are usually $10 for an evening of listening to Nobel Laureates, leading scientists, and even professional magicians and artists sharing the world of science and a few laughs. You dont need to be a scientist or Mensa to appreciate and understand the topics and discussions.
