| The Cafe |
At the place where science interconnects with life, you'll find The Science Café. It's a place where
scholars mingle with the public. It's a forum for exploring new ideas, discussing new concepts and
expanding personal horizons.
Based on the popularization of science concept, The Science Café, a program of RASIT, brings to the Arab
world a new way for people to connect. Every month, we explore the many ways that science enhances
and enriches our lives. The topics are intriguing and fascinating and the conversation always lively and
stimulating.
In the Science Café you'll find people who play an important part in developing and improving our lives,
both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.
Science Café is a human endeavor — with a heart, a rhythm, moods, personality, language and, yes,
failures. But so often when telling the story of science, we frame it as a straightforward march to
discovery. The details and the context, the circuitous path of research, the process and sometimes the
people themselves are neglected.
In short, we rarely have the opportunity to tell the story behind the story or to discuss why it is important
or, better yet, to talk about science when breakthroughs are not presumably imminent.
Each month, the Science Café will give you a seat at this table. We will be developing a menu for your
mind. You can just "listen in" or, if the mood strikes, join in the conversation by offering comments or
suggesting topics.
There are a number of ways to get involved with The Science Café.
• Participate in the cafe
• Register for our Mailing List

• Pass along the Web Address to a Friend
