Where is the Denver Café Scientifique2?
Place: 6:30 PM at Brooklyn's at the Pepsi Center. 901 Auraria Parkway, directly across the parkway from the Auraria Campus. Lots of free parking on non-game nights (drive around the little circle, into the Toyota lot, tell the attendant (if any) that you're coming to the Café Sci). This is a sports bar, and huge, but there is an upstairs lounge area that is pretty quiet on evenings when the Nuggets, Avalanche, Mammoth, and Broncos are not playing. That dictates when we will schedule a Café. They are nice people and the waitstaff are reported to all be science buffs; food and drink available throught the evening.
Next Café2: Monday 19 March 2018: James Hill on What is Wellness and why do you want it?
