Albuquerque Cafe Scientifique updates

Our first meeting went great, and we had a few homeschool
teens attend, which was really refreshing. Thanks so much
for helping to get the word out!

Here are a few more dates for different events:

On January 30th (this Wednesday) we are having a follow-up
speaker come to the Museum. Her name is Lorrie Crowe, and
her talk is on "Living With HIV." It will be from 6 to
7:30 p.m. in the Education Annex (across the parking lot
from the Museum) and pizza and sodas will be served.

On Wednesday, February 13th, we will be hosting our second
speaker, Dr. Joyce Ann Guznik, whose topic is "Questions
About the Sun." It will be from 6-8 p.m. at the M Cafe in
the Museum of Natural History.

On Wednesday, February 20th, we will be having a follow-up
activity at the Museum planetarium at 6 p.m. The evenin
will probably go to 7:30. It is also the evening of a
lunar eclipse, which is exciting...

On Sunday, March 9th, all four Cafe Scientifique groups
(Los Alamos, Espanola/Pojoaque, Santa Fe and Albuquerque)
will be having a joint meeting at Sante Fe Community
College. The time will be from 2-5 p.m. In Sante Fe, we
will have a panel of scientists speaking about Global
Climate Change. This is a great opportunity for teens to
experience what a science conference is like.

As always, these events are free and open to all teens. We
will pay for food, and reimburse for carpooling and public
transportation. If there are any questions from anyone,
please feel free to hand out my email (jrichter@unm.edu)
or call me at 505-417-7928. Also, the Cafe website is
, and the dates are listed there too.

Thanks again,
Jen
