Stem & Vine Presents... How Herbal Aromatics Shape Mood, Memory & Stress

​Join us each month as Stem & Vine teams up with the BioPark for a relaxed, themed evening designed to bring the science and technology community together. These gatherings are as informal as you want - stop by for a drink, catch up with colleagues, or dive into the full experience.

​Every event follows our Think • Taste • Touch model:

• ​Think: A short, engaging conversation introduces the science and cultural story behind the theme - no lectures, just accessible insights.

• ​Taste: Enjoy curated flavors and beverages that bring the topic to life through sensory discovery.

• ​Touch: For those who want to participate, an optional hands-on activity offers a personalized take-home element.

​Whether you’re here to connect, unwind, or explore something new, these evenings blend science, culture, and hospitality in a welcoming atmosphere.

​Light bites will be served from local vendors, and curated seasonal beverages will be available for purchase.

​Speaker Remarks/Demonstration begins around 5:00pm.
