National Café Scientifique: Canada’s Science Culture in 10 years – dead or thriving?
October 27 at 6:00 p.m.
Fox and Feather Pub
283 Elgin Street
Ottawa, Ontario
Café Scientifique is a forum where, for the price of a coffee or glass of wine, adults can get together and talk about recent -- and sometimes controversial --developments in science and technology. The Canada Science and Technology Museum and its partner the Canadian Museum of Nature serve as moderators to the discussion between invited experts and the general public. Lively discussions guaranteed!
Some believe that science is driving our global culture unlike ever before and will continue to do so in the coming decades. How are we preparing for this? Are we elevating Canada’s scientific power and the role that science plays in the nation’s development? Are we equipping citizens with the skills needed to apply an understanding of science to daily life? Will the choices Canada is making today nurture and grow our science culture?
