   Science Cafe - Fall 2008

Welcome to Science Café ~ Book Club Discussion Group

Spring 2009 marks our sixth gathering of HLSAMP students who love to read, talk about books, and explore ideas about life and science woven into compelling stories.

Book club participants are expected to engage in this activity by paying careful attention to the details in
the novel, taking the time to learn about the science, history, and culture that underpins the plot and themes, and contribute actively to our group discussions.
