First Friday: Game On! The Science of Sports

Philly is a sports city, and tonight we are looking at the science behind your favorite games!

Stop by to learn about the curious history of turf, dirt, and gear, or complete one of our special themed scavenger hunts in honor of the FIFA World Cup. Learn how material science has shaped performance and safety over the decades. 

Celebrate the contributions of LGBTQIA+ scientists with the library team through a curated selection of biographies, archival photographs, and oral histories, as well as materials of past and present perspectives on physical wellness.
