Geeks and Guinness

Sounds good to me! Apparently, Science Cafes are catching on in Europe and have started to be exported to America. According to one organizer:
'It's great, as you get to think about things you wouldn't normally talk about
in everyday life,' said 24-year-old Madeleine Milan, who works in
communications. 'It's all really relaxed and you don't feel intimidated about
challenging speakers' beliefs or scientific research. Science is becoming more
part of our lives, and I want to hear about it from the experts.'

These are popping up all over the world. Here's one in LA.
