COPUS and Science Cafés

 

Professional societies, museums, science educators, researchers, students, enthusiasts...

are all joining COPUS and starting their own science cafés to celebrate the Year of Science 2009.

Science cafés, live events meeting in casual venues for a conversation between the public and a scientist, are spreading in a grassroots way. Anyone can start one, and there are a variety of formats that work well. To help you get started, make use of the following resources:

• Download this PDF: Science Café Guide for COPUS Participants.
• Explore sciencecafes.org to find out more about the science café community.
• Check out the list of available topics on video from NOVA scienceNOW.
• The public television program NOVA scienceNOW is a clearinghouse for science café activities nationwide. We want to hear from you. For information, assistance and support, please contact us.
