Find Science friends near you

Science as a hobby is staying curious about how the universe works, from cells and ecosystems to particles, weather, and the chemistry of a good cup of coffee. Science fans connect over the delight of a surprising fact, and asking each other questions nobody can answer yet is a surprisingly good basis for friendship.

How to find people who share your love of science

In Partnr you add Science to your interests, set how far you'll travel, and browse nearby people who like it too. When you both show interest you can chat and make a plan.

  • Spend an afternoon at a science museum and each pick one exhibit to explain to the other
  • Attend a free public lecture at a university and grab food after to argue about it
  • Try a simple kitchen chemistry project together, like growing sugar crystals or building a baking soda volcano for old times' sake

Conversation starters for Science friends

  • “What science fact rearranged your brain most recently?”
  • “If you could go back and study any field, which would it be?”
  • “What everyday thing do you secretly not understand how it works?”
