Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings have taken place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context.
Cafe Scientifique is a forum for debating science issues, not a shop window for science. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accountable.
This looks way cool. What a great idea, letting folks experience the wonder of science in a setting away from the academy. I know I'm going to be going to the one here in State College when presentations resume Fall Semester 2005. The venue is the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center on Allen Street, Wednesdays from noon to one.
