The public is invited to meet San Diego scientists leading groundbreaking biomedical research when Scripps Research hosts its second annual Discovery Day at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. With more than a dozen hands-on science activity stations led by over 50 graduate students and scientists from different Scripps Research laboratories, visitors will see amazing demonstrations and explore topics ranging from chemistry, neuroscience, viruses and vaccines, aging research, cancer biology, the gut microbiome, and more. Science enthusiasts of all ages will find fun and engaging activities at Scripps Research Discovery Day, from building candy DNA models and tasting ice cream made using liquid nitrogen, to peering at bacteria and tiny worms through microscopes, entering the tiny universe of viruses with virtual reality goggles, and learning about the latest research into new medicines that may soon provide treatments for disease. Following on the success of the first Scripps Research Discovery Day in November 2024, which was held in part to celebrate the non-profit research institute’s 100th birthday, Scripps Research is excited to return to the Fleet and connect again with members of the community for insightful conversations and shared moments of wonder. Admission to Scripps Research Discovery Day is included with general admission to the Fleet Science Center galleries. Scripps Research on Facebook / Instagram

Pundemonium is back - but this time, we're taking it outside! We're bringing Pundemonium to the one and only Oasis Patio bar in Pacific Beach. Watch, laugh, groan, or join word nerds from across the city in a battle to see who's the punniest of them all—and win a coveted Golden Nugget chicken trophy! "Pundemonium!" is a two-part event based on the format used by pun contests in cities nationwide: - In Part 1, Battle of the PUNdits, participants who have signed up in advance will deliver two-minute pun-filled speeches on a topic of their choice, and the audience will determine the winner. Want in? We ask that Battle of the PUNdits let us know you're competing ahead of time by emailing sandiegopundemonium@gmail.com - or email us with questions if you're curious but don't know how it works! - Part 2, the PUNger Games, is a head-to-head pun-off tournament-style, where participants go back and forth making puns on a given topic until they just can't anymore. Think of it as a rap battle, but with puns. Sign up in advance at sandiegopundemonium@gmail.com OR on the spot at Pundemonium! Want more puns in your life? Don't be chicken, follow us on Instagram, mothercluckers. That's where you can see examples of pun speeches and watch past PUNger games battles, too.

On March 28, Sound Praxis presents an evening of duo and solo improvised music featuring bicoastal percussion duo Ben Rempel & Justin Gunter, Ana Luisa Díaz de Cossío, and 1515 (Ryan Ebaugh & Jonathan Piper). This presentation is generously hosted by the Brown Building in City Heights! Justin Gunter and Ben Rempel are percussionists based in NYC and LA. Having met in music school, they’ve reunited to form a percussion duo rooted in their wide-ranging shared musical interests. In a style that feels organic and intuitive, their music combines free improvisation, complex rhythmic composition, minimalism, classical percussion sensitivity, and a sensibility for groove. As an improviser, Ana Luisa Díaz de Cossío is drawn to the quiet thresholds of daily life. She works with the mundane and the overlooked, with found materials and unstable textures, allowing sound to emerge from what is already present. De Cossio is interested in micro-gestures: sounds that crack, bend, fray, dissolve. Sounds that feel provisional, alive. Improvisation is at the center of her work not as a technique, but as a way of being, as an act of care and commitment to presence, to responsiveness, to the unknown. 1515 is a collaborative duo of Jonathan Piper (tuba) and Ryan Ebaugh (sax). They incorporate extended techniques and idiosyncratic approaches to their instruments in a fresh blend of spontaneous interaction, skill, and innovation. March 28, 2026 Brown Building @ 4133 Poplar Street Music at 7:30 p.m . $15 suggested (NOTAFLOF) Refreshments available All proceeds to the artists
