A Science Cafe is a monthly gathering in a Cafe, 
open to the public, with a short presentation of 
a topic followed by discussion. The essence of a 
Science Cafe is informality, with groups seated 
around tables with food and drink to encourage 
conversation.  Hudson Valley Science Café usually 
meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month.  Temporary
