Did you know that if you left Minneapolis right now, you could be in Morris in time for the last Café Scientifique Morris of the 2006-2007 academic year? Tracey Anderson will be telling us all about aquatic insects, as well as just about anything you might want to ask about arthropods. If you can't make it to this one, you'll have to wait until September for your next opportunity.

We're coming into the home stretch for the semester here—this will be the second to the last week of classes, and just as I'm panicking about everything I have to cram into the last few lectures, what do I do? Disappear! Flit about from place to place! It would be a great way to dodge assassins if…
The title pretty much says it all.
One of the reasons I wanted to get the Ten Years Before the Blog series done was that I'm incredibly burned out on everything right now, and I need to step away from the Internet for a while. There are too many things that aren't getting done, and I just can't…
I grew up with handy parents, and I learned some things from them - cooking, chopping wood, making do, but there were still things I missed out on. Even though my step-mother is a talented woodworker, I never learned. Even though she does plumbing repair, I didn't pay attention when I could have.…
Henry Gee and I have been talking, on our blogs, about how the public views science, and what can be done to change that. That's hardly a new topic for scientists. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen or heard the topic discussed. It's a water cooler conversation topic at universities…
Did you know that if I left home right now, I could be in Minneapolis in 20 hours or so?
Does anyone know if there are these kinds of things around Boston? I would love to attend, but not so badly that Im going to Minnesota.
Damn! I just missed the last wormhole from Utah to Minneapolis.
Because 2/3 of the USA is within a day's drive of Morris....
Damn. Ian beat me to my joke.
If I'd start driving right now, I'd be in Paris in about 7 hours. From there on I might be on time for the September Café Scientifique...
Getting there from Paris isn't all that hard. Google Maps can tell you. Take a look at Step 20.
What about St. Cloud?
There's one leaving next Tuesday that will get you there in time.
There may be one in Cambridge, MA, but the links I'm finding are either dead or old. I'm sure if you look around a bit and take names and numbers, you should be able to link up with someone who knows the current status.
Be careful about step 43, too -- Highway 28 is a notorious speed trap, and while you might be tempted to try and make up some of that time you lost at step 20, don't do it.
PZ--
Are there any Café Scientifique events over the summer? I'm in Virginia during the academic year, but I'll be spending my summer working in Minneapolis--I'd love the chance to drop in on one.
Anybody go to New Orleans for Pyratecon 2007?

No comment on this piece, but I wanted you to be aware of this bit by Matthew Parris:

Sorry, had to meet Al Franken at Plymouth Progressives.
Wow, the man can work a room.
There is a science pub in Seattle on April 30th: Science on Tap.

It's worth a try. I hope my car can swim... Otherwise I'll be stuck on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, but hey I guess I'll see some maritime life there. Taking some friends with me I could make up my own Café Scientifique! "Café Scientifique II: Return of the Squids")

Highway speed limits?! What's the purpose of a fast car, when you are not allowed to drive accordingly (uhm, well I don't own a fast car, though.)? Gonna stick to the Autobahn, I guess.
