For more than 100 years, the Watson Lectures have brought the wonder of Caltech research and discovery to the public.
Caltech welcomes you to the Watsons, an engaging lecture series in the historic Beckman Auditorium, where you will hear from scholars, scientists, and engineers on the forefront of discovery who are expanding knowledge, tackling society's most pressing challenges, and inventing the technologies of the future.
Join our email list to receive emails about the Watson Lectures and the monthly Public Events newsletter.
Join us for the 2026-27 season of the Watson lectures!

Free and open to the public, the Earnest C. Watson Lecture Series offers a unique and accessible opportunity to learn more about cutting-edge science directly from Caltech's premier researchers. Come early to mingle with your neighbors over food, drink and music, as well as interactive displays related to the evening's topic. Then head inside to hear a stimulating talk and stay to ask your burning questions.
Enjoy each Watson Lecture and previews for future Watson Lectures on Caltech's YouTube channel.
The Earnest C. Watson Lecture Series began in 1922. Originally known as the "Friday Evening Demonstration Lectures," the series was started by Earnest C. Watson, a professor of physics at Caltech from 1919 to 1959, in order to share modern scientific advances with the public and foster a greater appreciation for the impact of fundamental research. For the talks, Watson would stand in front of a packed lecture hall to deliver his famed "liquid-air" demonstration, in which he would open a bottle of air that had been cooled to minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and the contents would appear to "boil" out of the bottle and engulf Watson in white fumes. While Watson's famed demonstrations would no longer meet current safety guidelines, the spirit of his talks and his interest in inspiring an appreciation and understanding of science remains and has motivated generations of faculty to share the details of their work.
Eventually renamed in his honor, the Watson Lectures continue to spotlight pathbreaking Caltech research.

"SpaceWERX is launching the On-Orbit Space Logistics (OOSL) Challenge in partnership with the U.S. Space Force (USSF) Space Access portfolio. Most spacecraft today are built to be expendable. They launch with a fixed amount of propellant, and once it runs out, there's no way to refuel, repair, or resupply them on-orbit. As a result, missions must be planned around a finite fuel supply with little ability to adapt after launch. There is currently no established way to transport fuel, parts, or other critical supplies to spacecraft operating across low Earth orbit (LEO), geosynchronous orbit (GEO) or the region near the moon known as cislunar space.
Advances in autonomous operations, robotic servicing, in-space mobility and commercial space logistics are laying the foundation for a more sustainable space ecosystem. This OOSL Challenge is seeking technologies that extend spacecraft lifespans, increasing mission flexibility and supporting a more sustainable space enterprise. Innovative approaches from both traditional and non-traditional performers are encouraged to advance both national security and commercial space capabilities."
