Join us for an exclusive public talk by UC Irvine alumnus and winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, David MacMillan. Professor MacMillan will share his journey in this light-hearted, non-technical presentation. Hear about his path from developing organocatalysis in his lab to what it has been like in the aftermath of winning the Nobel Prize.
Explore the return of Discovery Cube’s Solar System Encounter exhibit with UC Irvine’s physics and astronomy students! Meet these space researchers as they dive into the solar system with James Webb Space Telescope.
Get ready for an out-of-this-world scavenger hunt through our solar system! Learn about our solar system on a mission to uncover the secrets of space. Visitors will zoom from planet to planet, hunting for clues and solving puzzles.
Join us on January 28, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. to learn about cutting-edge research on clean and abundant energy solutions. The annual series offers timely scientific lectures that are free and open to the public.
Complimentary parking is available. Continental breakfast will be provided.

The Math Community Educational Outreach (Math CEO) program at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) will receive the 2025 AMS Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department.
Founded in 2014, UCI’s Math CEO is an after-school math enrichment program aimed at increasing the number of talented students in STEM from diverse backgrounds by fostering mathematical exploration, mentor development, and community engagement.
The Adventures in Physics program provides engaging demonstrations of physics for communities in the Orange County area. The program also hosts an annual public event at UCI for the entire community to experience an engaging physics lecture and exciting science demonstrations.
This event honors the legacy of John Rosendahl, Instructional Programs Director in the Department of Physics & Astronomy from 1987 – 2012. He created memorable lecture demonstrations that were seen by more than 50,000 students and conducted physics assemblies for K-12 schools.
Join us on December 5, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. to learn about cutting-edge research that's exploring the mysteries of the universe and pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
The Ruth Ann and John Evans Family Beyond Endowed Lecture Series features research that is unraveling the secrets of the cosmos and inspiring the next generation of explorers and thinkers. The annual series offers timely scientific lectures that are free and open to the public.
