Science Salon–

sex, reproduction and attraction in the natural world

NSWA is reviving the art of the salon in the spirit of community and conversation around science. Bring a dish to share for a potluck, Thursday, Feb 12. Following fellowship and food, folks will have the opportunity to share a short piece either they wrote or found related to the topic. Board member and local author, Lynda Mapes, will host this inaugural salon in North Seattle. It promises to be great nerdy fun just in time for Valentine’s Day.
