Whether you are looking for a Science Café near you, are interested in organizing a
Science Café, or are just plain curious, you’ll find everything you need to know about
Science Cafés on this site.
The newly updated Find a Cafe Map tool features a more inclusive zip code search function. Now, you can search any zip code and find the cafe nearest to you, even if that cafe is a state away! Also, you can find a text list of the nearest cafes and their information under the map.
Along with the site redesign comes a brand new, all inclusive resource database. Looking for a particular PDF or document to help get your Science Cafe off to a great start? Well, then look no further. Our database will include all of our produced Science Cafe resources, and is filterable by media type, file type, related program, and more!
Sign up to receive the Cafe Conversations newsletter, a monthly update from NOVA Education about all things Science Cafe! Hear from the NOVA Outreach team, get updates on available resources, and hear about happenings from other cafes around the network.

This a cool piece about using improvisation to help graduate students communicate their work in science to the public and beyond! http://www.centerforcommunicatingscience.org/improvisation-for-scientists/
This innovative program was shepherded by Alan Alda, a founding member of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science’s national advisory board. Joining Mr. Alda are the School of Journalism’s Valeri Lantz-Gefroh and two members of SBU’s Theatre Arts faculty, Deborah Mayo and Steve Marsh.

Are you excited about the upcoming Café on May 21st at CaféSciBoston? Want to watch a great TED talk? Check out this TED video with Sarah-Jayne Blakemore on the adolescent brain. http://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_jayne_blakemore_the_mysterious_workings_of_the_adolescent_brain.html
Why do teenagers seem so much more impulsive, so much less self-aware than grown-ups? Cognitive neuroscientist Sarah-Jayne Blakemore compares the prefrontal cortex in adolescents to that of adults, to show us how typically “teenage” behavior is caused by the growing and developing brain.
