Some guy is giving a public lecture here in Morris, Minnesota. I was wondering why I was feeling a little frazzled and over-extended this week.
Event Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 – 6:00pm
Location: Common Cup CoffeehouseAnyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology.
The next Café Scientifique will take place on Tuesday, September 27, at 6 p.m. at the Common Cup Coffeehouse (501 Atlantic Avenue, Morris, MN 56267). Associate Professor of Biology PZ Myers and Katrine Sjovold ’18, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, will lead the discussion: “Cells in Motion: How Cells Move to Build Embryos, Create Patterns, and Cause Cancer.”Myers and Sjovold have been studying migrating cells in zebrafish embryos as a model for how cells rearrange themselves in constructing tissues, organs, and organisms. They have focused on melanocytes, the cells that make pigment stripes in the animal, because their behavior is universal and is also important in human diseases, like melanoma.
Café Scientifique is an ongoing series that offers a space where anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology for the price of a cup of coffee. Meetings take place outside of a traditional academic context and are committed to promoting public engagement with science. Interested audiences can look forward to additional discussions typically on the last Tuesday of selected months.
Café Scientifique is supported in part by a grant to the University of Minnesota, Morris from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the Undergraduate and Graduate Programs. For more information, visit morris.umn.edu/hhmi.
Probably some baby-eating evilutionistas.
Carefully check the washrooms and under the bed for carnivorous zebrafish mutants.

I think I’ve seen that movie… ‘The Attack of the 40 foot Zebra Fish’!
blf and richard are clearly being facicious. Take some zebrafish with you. Grilled and with an appropriate sauce I am sure they would be a hit.
jrkrideau @ # 3: Grilled and with an appropriate sauce …
But a lighter proportion of formaldehyde this time, please!
There will be a whiff of formaldehyde for sure, be on your guard for liburels.
People sure over complicate things. I’m sure zebra fish would cook like whitebait. recipe courtesy of the BBC

OK, so let’s go to the important question: -Is the black liquid stuff in The X-File the same as the black liquid stuff in Prometheus ???
