New Mexico PBS hosts a SCIENCE CAFÉ 12 or more times a year, at various locations. The concept is to show clips from an episode of NOVA, NOVA scienceNOW, the Online NewsHour Science Reports, NATURE, FRONTLINE, or a comparable program, with an expert on that topic on hand to answer questions, and have an open discussion with the audience.
Take part – or listen to the discussion swirling around you. It’s fun, it’s casual, it’s laid back. The estimated number of attendees range from 50-80 people per Café.
Be more curious … be more amazed … have fun … come to a New Mexico PBS Science Café. For more information, call Rose Poston at (505) 277-2396.
