British Science Association partners with Cafe Scientifique June 9, 2009

From June, the Thames Valley branch and the University of Reading will be working closely with Reading Cafe Scientifique. We aim to help create more informed and lively discusson at this popular event.

Reading has long had an association with Cafe Scientifique, the UK’s most well-known venue for informal discussion and debate on topical science.  The partnership between our two organisations will not only help bring in a wider audience through more publicity, but also provides an opportunity for branch members to get involved in organising the events.

This June sees a relaunch of the popular science cafe, with a new city centre venue and an exciting programme of speakers including swine flu with Prof Ian Jones, stem cells and human rights with Dr Shawn Harmon, and the economics of happiness with Dr Marina Della Giusta.

Come and join us to explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a friendly bar atmosphere. All events take place at 7:30pm at Deja Vu Bar and Eatery, 61 St Mary’s Butts, Reading, RG1 2LG. Check out www.reading.ac.uk/cafesci
