Bay Area Frontier Research Club | Meta HQ (dinner + paper discussion)

The Bay Area Frontier Research Club is a curated forum for rigorous discussion on how AI is reshaping the scientific research process. We convene experimental researchers, computational scientists, and research engineers across domains to examine concrete work—papers, methods, and workflows—covering literature synthesis, hypothesis generation, experimental design, simulation, analysis, and reproducibility.

For each session, we curate 2–4 papers selected for rigor and discussion value. Presentations are intentionally brief so the majority of time is reserved for questions and critique: assumptions, evaluation methodology, failure modes, and what would constitute convincing evidence. Papers and supporting materials are shared in advance to ensure a high-baseline conversation.

Want to present your work?

If you have a research paper you’d like to discuss with a cross-disciplinary room, submit it for consideration.

SUBMIT YOUR PAPER HERE.

Who should attend

• Experimental researchers

• Computational scientists across domains (bio/chem/materials/climate/neuro/physics)

• Research engineers + lab automation people

• Those building tools for literature review, experiment planning, robotics, simulation, or scientific data

No ML background required. If you’ve ever wished research moved faster, you belong here.

Capacity is limited.

We will take photos and short video clips for event recap and promotion. By attending, you consent to being photographed and recorded, and to the use of those images and clips by the organizers on social media and other event marketing channels.
