The October 25 Science Pub will be a discussion of science education with four Madison High School science teachers and a university lecturer who works in professional development programs for science teachers.

If you believe the hype in the press and the blogosphere, you'd conclude that science education is in tatters. Come and listen to what's going on right here in Madison. Be prepared for a conversation about kids, education, national priorities and obstacles. Come with your questions and comments. Come to listen or share. Come for the conversation (and beer).
