Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø Professor, Scientist Discusses Infectious Diseases at Café Scientifique Dec. 5

VALDOSTA — The College of Science and Mathematics at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø will present Café Scientifique from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, at The Network Coffee Shop. This event is open to the public.

Dr. Eric Chambers, associate professor in the Department of Biology at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø, invites anyone interested in promoting engagement with science to come out and discuss his area of expertise — infectious diseases.    

“This event is an opportunity for anyone, from any background and level of education, to learn more about science,” said Dr. Cristina Calestani, professor in the Department of Biology at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø and one of the event organizers. “It is not meant to be a lecture. It is an opportunity for the public, as well as our Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø students and colleagues, to ask questions and receive answers in a format that they can understand. The informal setting facilitates the interaction between the scientist and the public.”

Café Scientifique is a global forum for debating science issues and allowing attendees the opportunity to ask questions. All around the world, including Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø, it is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology.

Café Scientifique is hosted by Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø’s Initiatives for Community Engagement Through Applied Research.

The Network Coffee Shop is located at 1811 Jerry Jones Drive in Valdosta.
