Café Scientifique

Ever feel a wee bit 'challenged' when people start discussing human embryology / the genome project / GM crops - and so on?

Join the club! But thanks to the nationwide Café Scientifique network you may be nearer than you think to an enjoyable, inexpensive way of getting up to date on some of the key science/technolgy issues of our fast-changing world.

As the publicity says: 'Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context.

'Cafe Scientifique is a forum for debating science issues, not a shopwindow for science. We are committed to promoting public engagementwith science and to making science accountable. '

Check out the website. And maybe think about turning up. And, hey, you may be in a postion to throw in a few worthwhile words from a faith perspective.
