It’s been 6 months since starting this San Francisco science cafe called Down to a Science. It’s been a passion project, a means to start a social discourse from a scientific point of view. Here’s a good analogy: think of what Al Gore has done for climate change….he’s connected the public with the climate change scientists and their data. Look at the response: climate change is in the conversation all around us. I want to create similar dialogues on a grassroots level.

I quickly realized I needed to get a lot of content distributed. Reluctantly, I broke down and decided to join the blogosphere. But it’s been fantastic, reading and sharing scientific articles that relate to all of us (you won’t read about astronomy here). It’s been like sharing my favorite hobby with everyone. The blog is written solely by me with my “unique” point of view.

Over the past few months, I’ve found my entries to be lacking. I’ve got the scientific elements covered, but I’m missing the human element. I’m reaching out for personal stories related to topics covered at my cafe. I believe the personal shares will empower others to speak up as well, a catalyst of sorts. Will you be the catalyst for a positive conversation? The shares can be short, 10-15 minutes should cover it.
