A global community for scholars advancing science through questions and conversations.

Socratic Lab is a community for scientists and researchers created by the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute which provides free and easy ways to arrange meetings, find like-minded people to collaborate with and to engage around some of the biggest scientific questions of our time.

VIDEO MEETINGS. Just one click to start or join video meetings; real-time screen sharing; easy for moderators to manage all aspects of the meeting.

QUESTION LED. Meetings lead to community discussions; those discussions generate questions. Registered members can add their professional perspectives which, true to the Socratic method, is sure to generate more discussion… and even more questions!

DISCOVER. Tune into the latest and greatest science news. The Socratic Lab Editorial team interviews experts and writes about the most interesting topics generated by the community. Chen Science Writers summarize key topics discussed at science conferences around the world.
