Join us at de Vere’s Pub Davis this Thursday, May 26th, for our latest CapSciComm Networking Social! We’re meeting up in Davis after our CapSciComm Professional Workshop, “How to Get People to Care About Science” — which was booked full within days! But you can still come join us for our happy hour at 5:30p, where as always, we welcome all professionals and students in media, PR, creative, policy, outreach, and research, whose work intersects with science communications. RSVP on Facebook, and see you Thursday!
A warm welcome to researchers visiting Sacramento this week for the Society for Freshwater Science 2016 Annual Meeting!

Follow #2016SFS for tweets, and welcome these scientists to the River City!
