Where do you suppose you could find a place to talk about a mysterious neurological disease on Guam, a convention of time travelers, the science of yawning, and chess-playing computers all at once? The Central Resource Library, that’s where! Tomorrow night, Wednesday, March 7, the Library will hold a discussion of The Best American Science Writing 2006, starting at 7:00 p.m. It’s a great opportunity to explore a wide range of current scientific topics of interest and to discover what your neighbors are thinking as well.
