I just learned about a group called Cafe Scientifique Arlington and an upcoming event that is worth sharing:
WHAT: Keeping the lights on and holding electricity cost as low as possible
WHEN: Tuesday, June 3rd — 6:30-8:00PM
WHERE: The Front Page Restaurant, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA,
Located near Ballston Metro on the ground floor of the NSF building. Parking is available under the NSF building or at Ballston Common Mall.
WHO: Dr. Martin Lowery, Executive Vice President, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association
HOW: Short presentation, followed by Q&A. No science background required! Free and open to the public. Register online here!
ABOUT THE TOPIC: Exploration of ways that technology is helping to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions, what timelines and scenarios are workable in the present regulatory and political climate, and what are constraints and barriers. Discussions of ways that individuals can help address and solve energy challenges.
ABOUT THE CONCEPT: Cafe Scientifique flourished first in the U.K. as a way for the public and scientists to mingle and discuss science issues in an informal setting.
ABOUT THIS CAFE: The Ballston Science and Technology Alliance, a nonprofit organization, is the sponsor of Café Scientifique Arlington. Since April 2006, the goal of Café Scientifique has been to make science more accessible and accountable by featuring speakers whose expertise spans the sciences and who can talk in plain English. Café is generally held each month on the first Tuesday, at the Front Page in Arlington.
