Science Café seeks Eastside location

Science-Cafe

The Pacific Science Center is seeking a bar or restaurant in Bellevue or Kirkland to become the new Eastside location of their Science Café – a monthly event that promotes face-to-face dialogue with a scientist about current scientific topics.

For the past two years Pacific Science Center has co-presented the Queen Anne Science Café at their lower Queen Anne location, T.S. McHugh’s. Each café features a talk with real scientists in an informal setting, on topics focusing on current research, cutting edge technology, and scientific breakthroughs. Science Café is held once a month and is FREE to the public. The successful Science Café event series will expand to the Eastside in January. Café organizers are currently seeking a bar or restaurant in Bellevue or Kirkland to host an additional Science Café location and we need your help. Please submit your ideas for the new Eastside location to gro.icscapnull@kcabdeef.

Space must be large enough to accommodate a minimum of 60 people and conducive to lively discussions and debates.

Each café features a talk with real scientists in an informal setting, on topics focusing on current research, cutting edge technology, and scientific breakthroughs.

Each month, learn about cutting-edge topics in science and technology from leading researchers and scientists, all while enjoying food and drinks. At the café, speaker scientists give a short talk in their area of interest, followed by a small group discussion. After a short break and drink refill, the group reconvenes, allowing for a question and answer session and general discussion of the topic with the speaker and participants.

More details about Science Café can be found at www.pacsci.org.

    How about Wilde Rover? Got a good dining/meeting room to the side – and excellent brews!

    How about one of the wine/breweries…Columbia, Red Hook, St. Michelle all have large meeting rooms that can accommodate 10 to 200 people, with plenty of parking, food and beverages available–if it’s about science, I’d love to hear more about the development on the eastside in a venue that affords one the opportunity to hear the speaker and converse.
