Ask a Scientist

From Great Lakes Wiki

Explore scientific topics with experts and friends in the relaxed atmosphere of a local coffee house. Inspired by the internationally successful Café Scientifique, each of the talks features a short presentation by an expert and opportunities to ask your burning questions. They sometimes show clips from the public television series, “NOVA scienceNOW,” produced by WGBH-Boston. Next month: Recall the glacier that was here? Ah, it seems like only yesterday... at least from a geological perspective. Discuss what "recent" means and what high-tech tools are revealing about Lake Superior's floor with Nigel Wattrus, associate professor of geological sciences on staff at the Large Lakes Observatory at the University of Minnesota Duluth. “Ask a Scientist” takes place on the first Tuesday and Wednesday of each month.
