Partyology: A Night of Play, Pints & Petri Dishes

On Friday, April 11, from 6:30–9:30 p.m., level up your nightlife and your brain cells at PARTYology—a science-meets-party bash at 21Marbles (that’s Marbles Kids Museum, after hours and adults-only). Expect laser tag, DIY petri dish coasters, beer science, and a dance floor that’ll make your inner child and actual liver high-five. Burritos from Moe’s + beer from New Belgium = dinner of champions. 21+, ID required.

This isn’t sponsored (we’d let you know if it was). We just like science and snacks. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
