Every month, Oregon State University brings a world-class scientist to a local pub or brewery to talk about the latest in science, technology and research. The result is the university's most popular ongoing outreach program, the Corvallis Science Pub, brought to you each month through a collaboration of the Downtown Corvallis Association, OSU's Terra Magazine and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)
