Athens Science Café

Special treat from the folks at the Athens Science Cafe tonight beginning at 6 pm at the Foundry: Marshall Shepherd talks about communicating weather and climate:

"Zombies, Sports, and Cola: What does it mean for communicating weather and climate?" led by Dr. Marshall Shepherd from the UGA Department of Geography. Dr. Shepherd is the director of the UGA Atmospheric Sciences program and is a Georgia Athletic Association Distinguished Professor. Additionally, he hosts WxGeeks on The Weather Channel.

As their site suggests, Science cafés are fun, lively meetings held in places like coffee houses, pubs and community centers where everyday people come together and learn about a variety of topics from professional scientists. But they’re not lectures; they’re conversations. Dr. Shepherd, one of the most engaging scholars and teachers on this or any campus, will guide an open and friendly talk among people who want to know more. You don’t have to know a thing about science to participate, you just have to be curious.

Come one, come all; live a little, learn a lot.
