Hi there STEPS,

On May 9 we'll be having lunch with Shannon Hall, a local resident and science journalist who's had articles featured all over the place. She's had cover stories for New Scientist and Sky & Telescope, and was most recently published by National Geographic and NBC.

She'll be leading a discussion about science journalism, her path from scientist to journalist, science outside of academia, and any other current events that anyone wants to get into.

Come for the discussion, stay for the pizza! RSVP here or on the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/events/195657434286531/), and invite anyone who'd be interested.

It should be great - see you there!
