In Tampa, more than 20 professors, researchers and industry scientists, mostly from the University of South Florida and Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, eagerly signed up to give talks in local pubs Monday through Wednesday. They’ll talk on everything from climate science to brain research, said festival organizer Parmvir Bahia, a research associate at USF’s College of Medicine who specializes in neuroscience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
