VSU Professor, Scientist Discusses Infectious Diseases at Caf茅 Scientifique Dec. 5

VALDOSTA — The College of Science and Mathematics at 皇家华人 State University 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 VSU, 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 VSU 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 VSU 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 皇家华人 State University, 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 VSU’s Initiatives for Community Engagement Through Applied Research.

The Network Coffee Shop is located at 1811 Jerry Jones Drive in 皇家华人.
