Everything is Science, Lexington’s city-wide science festival, returns for its fifth year with an exciting new theme: It’s About Time!

What can seem like an intimidating topic is, in reality, quite relatable – from the moment we wake up in the morning, science is happening all around us – at every moment in time. Making science accessible in a fun and interactive way is essential in helping people feel more connected to science and the city of Lexington as a whole.

Everything is Science: It’s About Time! will take place February 20-24, 2023, from 6-8 pm each day. All events are free and open to the public.

Friday, 2/24: LIVE!
Ethereal Public House (102 W. Vine Street)
6:00 PM: The Scoop on the Loop! - David Dockan, UK College of Fine Arts
6:30 PM: Hooked on Science - Jason Lindsey, WKYT
7:00 PM: Time to Change Your Mind About Hypnosis - Devin Person, Change Your Mind KY
7:30 PM: Wires & Noise - Dr. Chad Eby, UK College of Fine Arts

We wish to remember and honor those who inhabited this Commonwealth before the arrival of the Europeans. Briefly occupying these lands were the Osage, Wyndott tribe, and Miami peoples. The Adena and Hopewell peoples, who are recognized by the naming of the time period in which they resided here, were here more permanently. Some of their mounds remain in the Lexington area, including at UK’s Adena Park.

In more recent years, the Cherokee occupied southeast Kentucky, the Yuchi southwest Kentucky, the Chickasaw extreme western Kentucky and the Shawnee central Kentucky including what is now the city of Lexington. The Shawnee left when colonization pushed through the Appalachian Mountains. Lower Shawnee Town ceremonial grounds are still visible in Greenup County.

We honor the first inhabitants who were here, respect their culture, and acknowledge the presence of their descendants who are here today in all walks of life including fellow pharmacists and healthcare professionals.
