On Wednesday night (June 27th), Nature Network Boston will be hosting their first ‘pub night’ at Tavern in the Square (in Central Square, Cambridge). Corie Lok, the editor of Nature Network Boston, recently blogged about this event, which will be “your chance to meet other scientists from the Boston area, including other members of and bloggers on Nature Network Boston and a few people from Nature’s Cambridge office…”

The pub night officially starts at 6:30 PM, and I’ll be there for an hour or so; I think Catherine said that she’s planning on being there for a little while too. So if you’re in Cambridge that night, please swing by and say ‘hello.’ Make sure you come early, as Corie’s buying the first 30 people a free drink…

Hope to see you on Wednesday night!
