Capital Science Communicators 
Have you thought about announcing CapSciComm and the June 20th social on the NASW lists (or maybe you already did and I missed it)?
We just sent a note to Pam today, so it should go out on the next digest an Science Writers. Thanks for the reminder, Robin! [Ben Young Landis]
Great — I’m looking forward to meeting you all!
Sorry to say I have to cancel — just got a quick turnaround assignment. Hope to make it to the next event!
You missed a fun night, Robin! Stay tuned for the details for the next meetup, rotating to Davis.
Looking forward to it — Davis is perfect for me because I live in Fairfield!
