Sigma Xi awards Toronto chapter a start-up grant for new science café

The Toronto chapter of Sigma Xi was one of five chapters awarded a $250 start up grant for a science café. Cafés bring together scientists and members of the public in an accessible venue, putting them on equal footing to discuss current scientific research, its findings, context, caveats and implications.

The Toronto chapter's first science café will look at the interface of the arts and science at a discussion inspired by an anthology of poetry about ecology and the environment.

For other winners, visit the Sigma Xi website.
