Scientists from the University of Florida will be at various locations around town standing by to chat with you and answer your burning science questions. Their publicity\/social media isn&#8217;t the best at this point so I&#8217;ll try to help them out. I know where some scientists will be at but others aren&#8217;t as clear.
