No, it’s not a band. It’s a really interesting project I found while zigging and zagging around the net. I’ve been on this futurism/transhumanism kick for the last several months and things only got more serious after BIL. I found this neat video on Space Collective.
The idea behind Cafe Scientifique is that for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine people can meet to discuss the latest ideas of science and technology which are changing our lives. The aim of the
Cafe is to bring science into conversation and back into our culture.
The first Cafes Scientifiques were held in the UK in Leeds in 1998. From there, cafes sprang up in Newcastle, Nottingham and Oxford and then
gradually spread throughout the UK. Currently, more than 30 cafes meet regularly to hear scientists or writers on science talk about their work and discuss it with
diverse audiences.
Cafe Scientifique is a forum for debating science issues, not a shop window for science. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accountable.
There are 6 speakers scheduled for the coming year, with the first on October 23 at 7:00pm at Revolution Cafe.
The first speaker is Prof. Mike Alvard from the Anthropology Dept. at Texas A&M, and his topic is “The Evolution of Cooperation.”
