AI 2 Science Happy Hour: Where Algorithms Meet Atoms on a Sunday Afternoon

On Sunday, October 4, the AI 2 Science Happy Hour took place at Social Bird in Lafayette, CA: an open, unhurried afternoon for anyone curious about where artificial intelligence meets science.

Some meetups come with a slide deck. This one comes with a calendar entry: the first Sunday of every month, 3 to 5 PM, at Social Bird in Lafayette, CA.

On October 4, that Sunday came around again, and the AI 2 Science Happy Hour took place as it was designed: as an open and informal gathering for people interested in how AI is shaping scientific research and innovation.

Who the table is for

Researchers, builders, students, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about the intersection of artificial intelligence and science are all welcome. Materials science, chemistry, biology, or something that does not have a name yet: the common ground is the curiosity, not the job title.

Why a happy hour?

Because some questions are easier to ask in conversation than on a slide. The happy hour is a relaxed local setting to meet new people, exchange ideas, and have a thoughtful conversation, whether you work in the field every day or are simply curious about it.

See you next time

The happy hour repeats on the first Sunday of every month, from 3 to 5 PM at Social Bird in Lafayette, CA. The next meetups are:

  • Sunday, November 1, 2026
  • Sunday, December 6, 2026
