Ghana: First Cafe Scientifique launched

A programme of science discussion forums has been launched in Ghana, with the aim of increasing public awareness and understanding of science. Café Scientifique is a series of free events where members of the public can discuss the latest scientific issues informally over a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Originating from the United Kingdom, the events consist of a short talk on a topical science subject and then the topic is opened up for questions and debate with the audience.
