| Cafe ASECafé ASE is an informal new discussion event in London that aims to provide ASE members with a forum to express their views on science education. Based on the Café Scientifique model, the meetings start with a short presentation from an influential teacher or policy maker and then open up into a discussion, with questions and comments from the audience. Many thanks to all those that made the first Café ASE such a success. Alom Shaha, Science Teacher, Film Maker and Writer, will present What’s the Point of Science? at the next Café ASE on Thursday 10th March 2011 at 6.45pm at Waterstones Bookshop (2nd Floor), Gower Street, WC1E 6EQ.
