The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny ..."

Late Breaking Science Pub News!
Our August Science Pub will feature Dr. John Hawks. Dr. Hawks is from the UW Anthropology Department and will return for his second science pub talk – you may remember John was our very first SciPub speaker – to fill us in on the latest in the exciting Neanderthal DNA sequencing and all things human evo related.
Our Next Science Pub will be August 29th, 2PM at Brocach Irish Pub, located at 7 W. Main Street in downtown Madison on the square.
July 2010 Science Pub
 Our July SciPub featured Dr. Mahesh Mahanthappa, an assistant professor in the UW Chemistry Department. He spoke about his research in developing new biodegradable polymers, the origins and impact of polymer science, large scale production of polymers, and the social and political impacts of commodity chemical processes on society.
Topics ranged from the high cost of production of many of today's plastic products, to energy storage in new battery systems, and much more.
See Mahesh's web site for more information about his research and publications.
