Are We Alone?


Topic: "The Astronomic Search for the Origins of Life on Mars"

Presenter: Robert Novak, Ph.D., Professor and 
Chair of the Physics Department, Iona College, 
New Rochelle, NY

A Science Cafe is a monthly gathering in a Cafe, 
Pub or Restaurant, 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 Wednesday of the month, except where noted.
