Spring selections announced for Books, Booze & Brains

The popular book club for the scientifically curious is back for Season 12

Ready for more good books and great conversation? Books, Booze & Brains is back for its twelfth season with a lineup guaranteed to pique a wide range of interests, featuring books about neuroscience, quantum worlds, motherhood and more. 

Envisioned as a book club for the scientifically curious, the monthly events take place at Ash & Elm Cider Company in Indianapolis. Attendees discuss the selected title and a local subject matter expert is invited to share insights and help guide the conversation. 

Books, Booze & Brains is an ongoing partnership with Central Indiana Science Outreach, March for Science Indianapolis, Indiana Sciences, Indianapolis Public Library and Ash and Elm Cider Company.

“We’re excited to kick off another season of Books, Booze & Brains and provide Hoosiers with an opportunity to gather and discuss big ideas,” said Sam Opsahl, program associate at Indiana Humanities. “As always, our selected titles cover a variety of topics so that our guests are exposed to a universe of scientific thought.”

These events are free and open to the public. Food and drink will be available for purchase from Ash & Elm. The events will be livestreamed for accessibility here: https://www.facebook.com/ScienceMarchIND
