[Sci-all-l] Hudson Valley Science Cafe

[Flora Grabowska]

I've been going to these more frequently and the 
last few have been very lively but I already have 
other plans for Dec 16.  Chemists may receive 
this twice, as I'm sending to Chemists present 
and departed.  Flora

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.
