Stuart and I try to highlight all of the interesting and unique gatherings around Seattle. But there’s still tons of user groups, meetups, and hackathons that happen regularly, every month. So we’ve create a whole separate page to list all of the regularly recurring events. We’re still putting it together, so contact us if your favorite event is missing. Also, check out the new links and archives pages if you haven’t already.

Climate change and global warming are both starting to get a lot of attention from the mainstream press. But even at it’s best, the coverage only barely scratches the surface of either subject. Thankfully, the folks that run Science on Tap are offering us a unique opportunity over the next few months to dig a little deeper into global warming and it’s overall effects on the environment.
First up, tonight, Joshua Tewksbury (UW Biology Professor) will be talking about “The Biological Impact of Climate Change”, focusing specifically on the most sensitive ecosystems in the tropics. Next month, after Thanksgiving, Peter Ward of the Zoology Departement at UW will be talking about the worst-case scenarios, asking the question “What’s the worse that can happen from global warming?”. Both events will be downstairs in the Pub at Ravenna Third Place Books, and everyone is encouraged to attend, no matter what your scientific background.
