About Science Café:  Spring 2012 marks our 11^th gathering of H-LSAMP students who enjoy love to read, talk about books, and explore ideas about life and science woven into compelling stories.

Book club participants are expected to engage responsibly in this activity by paying careful attention to the details in the book, taking the time to learn about the science, history, and/or culture that informs the plot and  
themes, and, importantly, contributing to the two evening discussions.

On our second evening, we share a home-cooked dinner which we hope will not only stimulate appetites but good conversation!

Dr. Greg Passty and H-LSAMP Director Susan Romanella provide discussion questions for a close reading of the chosen text and lead our seminar-style discussions.

Why do we call it Science Café? 
Because good food always tends to elicit good conversation!

SPRING 2012 SCHEDULE:  We will meet on two Thursday evenings during the spring semester:

1. Thursday - March 22 - 6:30-8:00PM - in the CLC
   This evening will be a student-led discussion of the book (...free thinking, clearing up confusions, idea sharing, and pizza night!)
2. Thursday - April 5 - 6:30-8:00PM - in the CLC
   This evening will be a “dinner & dialogue” where we continue our discussion with Dr. Passty and Ms. Romanella facilitating for the group.

Since 2006, this is our growing "library" of selections....here are the books we have loved...some more than others....
