Poetry is coming to the Museum of Science because some of the most profound discoveries begin not in a lab, but in language. In a year dedicated to revolutionary science, we are expanding the conversation to explore the intersection of art and inquiry. Emotions like grief, joy, wonder, and love are more than just fleeting experiences; they are biological and neurological realities that shape every decision we make and every connection we form. This summer, SubSpace presents a unique gathering that examines how two of humanity’s most enduring tools—science and poetry—have always been in a secret conversation with one another, helping us navigate the deep complexities of the human condition.

This special evening offers a space to reflect on how language gives shape to our inner lives and how creativity often illuminates truths that traditional research is still working to define. Boston has long been a city where innovation and culture breathe the same air, and this event brings that legacy to life in a new, more poetic way. Whether you are a lover of the arts or a student of the sciences, you are invited to witness how these two worlds meet to explore what it means to feel and how we find meaning in everyday life.

Join us for a night where science speaks in verse and creativity opens new doors to understanding the world around us.
