SUPPORT SCIENCE CAFE CLEVELAND

Science cafes provide an informal public forum for the open discussion of current science issues; they are based on the European salon model and many such cafes are currently active throughout much of the world.

Science Cafe Cleveland is sponsored by the Case chapter of Sigma Xi and WCPN ideastream (Cleveland). We've also received generous support from the ACES+ program at Case. Science Cafe Cleveland is a lively, informal scientific discussion in an inviting atmosphere of food and drink that usually takes place on the second Monday of each month at the Market Garden Brewery.

the Market Garden Brewery

Come join us! The Brewery is located at 1947 West 25th Street, right next to the West Side Market. Discussion begins around 7:00 pm. No reservations are needed; just show up and feel free to bring a friend. The Market Garden Brewery offers dining options before, during and after the event. (Click here to view menu). Not to mention beer!

*Please Note* A few of our cafes have approached capacity and/or standing room only. If you want to be 100% sure to get in and get a good seat, you might want to arrive a bit early. Hope to see everyone there!

For some of our topics, we've provided a few suggestions for pre-readings in case you want to prime your mind for a cafe. You can also usually preview the cafe by listening to The Sound of Ideas on WCPN ideastream (90.3 FM) the morning of the cafe. (Links to podcasts of past shows can be found on our list of past cafes; they are a great way to catch up on topics that you happened to miss.)
