Café Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a pint of beer, anyone can join discussions that explore the latest ideas in science and technology.
The members of the Toronto hub of Nature Network will meet afterwards in the Duke of York (same place as Café Scientifique) [see Eva Amsen's posting on easternblot]. You get two stimulating meetings for the price of one (i.e. free!).If you haven't yet joined the Toronto hub of Nature Network you should sign up here. Current members of the Toronto hub are here.
