Come on out to Morris this evening — at 6:00, at the Common Cup Coffeehouse, Van Gooch of the biology discipline will be talking about bioluminescence and other phenomena in our Cafe Scientifique. The title of his talk is “Light Giving Life: Real and Artificial,” and I know he’s planning to bring sample organisms to hand out to the attendees.

Geez, how about you guys come to Edmonton one of these days, huh?
We’ve got a really big mall and a bridge with a waterfall in the summer.
You are a cruel man. I want to go! But I live in Boston.
I’ll have to agree with jba….
You’ve almost got me convinced to drive out there from Western NY. I would love to go to that, but alas…
Someday, somebody will think of a way to transmit the audio, or even video of such events, to all interested parties. It could happen ….
Sounds like great fun! I wonder what it would be like to have some sea creature blinking at me from my glass of water? LOL!

Jumping around looking for an open thread, but did any of you catch this little Mitt Romney quote: “I have spent my entire life in the economy. The economy is in my DNA”
Magic underpants boy is now talking about DNA. What?
PZ, you might wish to tell the outa-Staters who owns/sponsors the Common Cup Coffeehouse, and the symbolism of the name. Or perhaps not…. :-)
I’m told that if you eat something bioluminescent, it’ll recharge your batteries.
Hey, PZ, have you seen any of the luminous zebra danios with the firefly genes?
