The first cafe scientifique event in Manila was the launch of Science Solitaire: Essays on Science, Nature and Becoming Human by Maria Isabel Garcia. (For more information on the book, click here.)

The launch gathered a panel of scientists and artists (including the author) to discuss the book's theme of bridging the sciences and arts. The audience was encouraged to interact by offering comments or asking questions. The event took place in a cafe, and was very well-received.

I am now looking into ways of having regular Cafe Scientifique sessions in Manila. If you'd like to join me, please email me using the link above.
