Meet other science lovers in your area! Whether it's chemistry, biology, physics, or geology, gather to meet others who like science!

Science Cafés are informal discussions on a topic, led by an expert. Be warned however - this isn't your professors boring, powerpoint-driven spiel - it happens at bars, restaurants, or coffee shops, and the dialogue can be very interesting (and informative). A moderator gives everyone a chance to speak, while keeping the discussion lively.
Based on the European Saloon style Café Scientifique, the San Antonio Science Café is a rare opportunity to drink a beer (or other beverage of choice) and really dig your teeth into a topic that interests you.
Future and past topics include Clean Water Goes Down the Drain, Corporate-subsidized Science Education for Kids, Why We Fall in Love (and is there a cure?), Age of the Universe, and Evolution of the Darwinist.

Q: Who should join us?
A: Residents or visitors of San Antonio who
-enjoy exploring the city.
-like learning.
-like casual atmosphere with thoughtful discussion.

San Antonio Science Café is sponsored by the Alamo Chapter of Sigma Xi (www.sigmaxi.org).
