What is Café Scientifique? The idea behind the Café Scientifique began a few years ago in England, inspired by the French Café Philosophique. In the Café Scientifique, people (often science buffs) come together in a friendly pub after work. An expert starts out with an informal introduction to an interesting current scientific topic. Then for an hour or so there are questions and answers and general discussion. There is an opportunity for everyone to ask questions, and questions beginnings with "This might be a stupid question, but... " are more than welcome; these questions are invariably not stupid and often rather insightful.
This months will be April 15th at 6:30. Professor Rebecca
Laroche from UCCS dept. of English will present "Help in their
Own Fields and Gardens: Early Modern Women's Ownership of
English Herbals."
Professor Michael
Larson will present "Development of a Medical Device for Laser
Tissue Fusion: an Example of Invention at the MIND Studios."
Held March 18th.
