Science Pub organizer taps scientists for informal gatherings mixed with beers

It?s not exactly a scientific formula but Skip Evans has discovered that if you combine a scientist, good beer, and a crowd of curious people, you come up with a very interesting Sunday afternoon. Evans is the founder of a unique Madison event called Science Pub. There have been other, earlier versions of the science gatherings but this one has been going strong for nearly two years now. About once a month at Brocach Irish Pub and Restaurant on the Capitol Square, the Science Pub has hosted a leisurely and free-wheeling discussion with a scientist, often from UW-Madison.
