Last night’s Sip of Science event at Trace Brewing @tracebrewing was a tremendous success.
With curious minds, thoughtful discussion, and accessible research at the center of the evening, the event highlighted the value of bringing science into shared community spaces. Thanks to the co‑sponsorship of Pitt Ophthalmology and Avenu Workspaces, attendees enjoyed a unique opportunity to engage with cutting‑edge research in a welcoming, informal setting.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to such meaningful conversations. Events like this reinforce the importance of public engagement and collaboration in advancing science and education.
We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to create spaces where research and community connect.

🔬 Speaker Highlight: Sip of Science – April 28th 7PM-9PM @tracebrewing
We’re excited to spotlight one of our featured speakers for our upcoming Sip of Science event—Xing Chen, PhD!
Dr. Chen is a tenure‑track Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology whose work focuses on brain‑computer interfaces, visual neuroscience, and blindness. Her research explores how the brain processes visual information through recording and electrical stimulation of visual pathways—even in the absence of input from the eye.
She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California and completed her PhD in Visual Neuroscience at Newcastle University (UK).
Join us in April to hear more about her innovative work and cutting‑edge research!
In partnership with Avenu Workspaces 👏
