Girls’ Night Out, on What to Eat.  6:30 p.m.  Open to public.  This event has caused quite a stir, apparently.  Science magazine had a snarky little piece on it (scroll down to lower left) sniffing that “girls” must not be interested in real science given the lineup of speakers. I wrote an equally sniffy rebuttal (go to the second page).  Enjoy!
