Dalton Science Cafe

09/25/2016

Hey, guys. Didn't think I'd post again, but got some related news. Looks like there's a Chattanooga Science Cafe starting up in November. I know it's pretty far for an evening, but it would be great if y'all could support them on their first event. They have a page and an email address for you to sign up. [email protected]

Breaking News: I'm moving out of state.

I haven't found anyone to take over the cafe at this time. If anyone is interested in continuing the Dalton Science Cafe, please contact Dawn Braswell at [email protected].

Don't forget - Solar Eclipse August 21, 2017. You'll have to drive to Sweetwater or Dayton, TN to see the totality. Get your eclipse glasses and start to plan your trip. It's not that far away!

Fall 2015 series is now up for inspection. Lots of nature talks this time around. http://ow.ly/d/3B8N I've never uploaded an image from Hootsuite, so I hope it works. The short version:
September 8 - Preston Foerder, UTC - Elephant behavior
October 13 - Amos Tuck - Coosa River Basin Initiative - Canoeing the Conasauga
November 10 - Daniel Huser - Limestone Valley RC&D - Clean Water Act Grants and Projects
All events start at 7 pm and are located on the 2nd floor of the Pope Student Center, Dalton State College. Free, but donations help pay for snacks and gas money for the speakers. I may try to get healthier snacks this time around.
