Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that TONIGHT is the next Eat, Think, and Be Merry! Science Cafe! Please join us at 7pm at The Bookstore in the Grove for "Plumes and tar balls and uncertainty! Oh MY!". The Deepwater Horizon well is currently estimated at pouring 35,000 to 60,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico. How did this happen? What does it mean for Florida? What steps can we take to prevent spills in the future? How do responses to the Deepwater Horizon spill and the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 compare? Bring YOUR burning questions to ask a panel of experts: John Dolson (former member of the BP Deepwater Taskforce), Gary Thomas (RSMAS - U. of Miami), and Jim Fourqurean (Florida International Univ.).  

ETBM features a casual environment in which people can learn about ongoing marine research and discuss ocean issues (particularly as they relate to Florida) over a beer or a glass of wine. No science background necessary! ETBM is held at The Bookstore in the Grove (3399 Virginia St.) on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7pm. These events are FREE, as are snacks (to the first 40 people to arrive). To be added to the ETBM mailing list, email adymscorrea@gmail.com or join the Eat, Think, and Be Merry! Science Cafe group on Facebook. 

Hope to see you and your non-scientist friends there,
Adrienne Correa & Rebecca Vega Thurber
