# Doing Science with Agentic AI ![Gemini said A line-art comic where a person is blown backward by a torrent of papers and hardware erupting from a computer monitor displaying 'AGENTIC SCIENCE' in a messy office](/sites/g/files/omnuum716/files/styles/hwp_5_4__480x385/public/2026-04/Agentic%20Science.jpg?h=2b0b18d0&itok=Z7TlzuT_) #### calendar\_today Date and Time **April 16, 2026** 04:30PM - 05:45PM EDT #### pin\_drop Location **Science Center Hall C** [1 Oxford St Cambridge, MA 02138 United States ]() **Free and open to all – no registration required** AI agents can now do real science — suggest and correct research directions, do challenging multistep technical computations, write and run code in any programming language, perform deep literature reviews, and teach us. We’ll show some examples of agentic AI tackling genuine state-of-the-art scientific problems, and how Harvard researchers are speeding up their workflows by a factor of 10 or more.
