PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Dozens of people packed into Frankford Hall Wednesday night for the Philadelphia Science Festival’s Nerd Nite.
The event held panels that gave experts a chance to examine popular scientific questions and ideas like “the myths behind gluten intolerance, so what is fact and what’s fiction?” says Gina Lavery with Nerd Nite Philadelphia
Lavery says a lot of people like the informal atmosphere of coming to a bar and getting some sort of education:
“One of our tag lines I would say, is the Discovery Channel with beer.”
Lavery says don’t worry if you missed Wednesday’s Nerd Nite, it’s a monthly event they hold at Frankford Hall.
