SciWorks and Sigma Xi Fraternity Continue Local Science Cafés
Winston-Salem has joined the “Science Café” movement that has swept the nation. SciWorks and Sigma Xi (the International honor society for scientific and engineering research) have scheduled another talk for the evening of June 9th. The Science Cafés are supported in part by the PBS program NOVA scienceNOW.
Science Cafés are informal talks given by a local expert at a local gathering place. At a café participants can… learn about the latest issues in science, chat with a scientist in plain language, meet new friends, speak your mind, and, talk with your mouth full!
All talks will take place at Foothills Brewing Co., 638 West Fourth Street in Downtown Winston-Salem. Science Cafés begin at 7pm. Participants are encouraged to enjoy dinner on their own from 6-7pm. There is no fee to participate in the Science Café.
