'The public television series “Nova” knew it long
ago – people are interested in science, especially if it’s boiled down into how
it affects their life and the world around them. A Champaign woman (Carla
Scaletti) is helping turn that interest into a two-way discussion in a friendly
atmosphere. AM 580’s Tom Rogers went to the first local meeting.' Link

Simon is also working on ‘getting science out of the lecture theatre’. Check out his own website at : www.simonsingh.net . Cambridge University’s ‘Varsity’ Magazine ran a piece by Toby Ferenczi in May 2002, heralding the arrival of Café Scientifique in the city. Toby said ‘Café Scientifique is an organisation which tries to take science away from the bum-numbing chairs of the classroom and into big, fluffy sofas ... It tries to play a role in promoting public engagement in science; making it accountable, because science is no longer for the scientist alone.’ In February 2002, The Guardian’s Science Editor, Tim Radford gave us some good promotion for our launch event at the ICA in London on his Thursday Science page. ‘When it comes to Science, I’d rather have a Latte than a lecture,’ wrote Anjana Ahuja in The Times ‘Science Briefing’, February 2002. The article also promoted our ICA launch and featured our strapline ‘We want people to be as opinionated about science as they are about football’.
