(You normally shouldn't see this. Dang.) Cafe Scientifique Orlando is a gathering of scientifically-inclined people in Central Florida, who meet at a cafe, coffee house, pub, or nonacademic location to discuss events and ideas in the world of science. We enjoy beer and wine, and we use plain language to talk about extraordinary ideas.

Come to our first event, where we’ll hear about our new exploration of the red planet. Mars has gotten a lot of skygazers’ attention lately, now that we have technology to explore it in far more depth than we could have thought possible even a few years ago.

Admission is free. Get a bite to eat and glass of wine or mug of beer, and join in the discussion.
