Popular series pairs Harvard professors with chefs and food experts.


This year’s Science and Cooking Public Lecture Series is a celebration of border-blurring, culinary crossovers, from Caribbean-influenced French and Italian cuisine to a Thai take on traditional Indian recipes. And with a remote format via Zoom, this 11th iteration of the lecture series gives viewers a front-row seat to watch some of the world’s best chefs showcase unexpected flavors and unique techniques.


The lectures pair Harvard professors with celebrated food experts and renowned chefs to showcase the science behind different culinary techniques. The series, organized by Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is based on the Harvard course “Science and Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to the Science of Soft Matter,” but public lectures do not replicate course content.


– All talks will take place by Zoom; registration is required and you will be emailed with the Zoom link to join


– Each presentation will begin with a 15-minute lecture about the scientific topics from that week’s class by a faculty member from the Harvard course


– The lectures are free and open to the public Mondays 7 p.m. EST, with a few exceptions to accommodate our speakers’ different time zones (see schedule).


If you have questions regarding the public lecture series, please contact [email protected].
