"Wow!"
"They're very informative and you meet very interesting people."
"Very interesting group, with a deligtful diversity of presentations"
"This group is always interested in the topics being discussed and they always ask thought provoking questions of the speaker. As long as there is continued space exploration and advances in telescopes including satellites carrying telescopes, Science beyond our galaxy will always be of interest to me."
"Great for all ages"
"to be informed of similar events/lectures."
"The speaker said the next class would be boring and about telescope mounts. So if you want something more exciting come to the class in June. Also the field trip to Black Star Canyon sounds fun. Steve, the leader for that, had a lot of enthusiasm."
"It's a great group of people and great events for all levels."
"Quite valuable. I will I had more time to take advantage of it."
"because there is nothing worth watching on the television."
"Anyone with an interest in science should join this meetup group. Attending these events allows people to learn and ask questions of science experts in a group setting. It is also an opportunity for children to gain a broader perspective of the world in which they live as well as to look at avenues for potential careers in the sciences."
"I enjoy the group very much. The interaction between the speakers and attendees is great."
"Science Cafe offers excellent information on many science subjects and you can select the ones you are interested in."
"It was rather boaring. The speaker dweled upon details that I didn't find interesting. The visual aids were very sparce. I've seen much better presentations on this subject on the PBS channel on TV. It was a real strain to hear the speaker. I'd like to recommend using a PA system next time."
"Great informational resource."
"You continue to do a great job, Brian. I appreciate your work."
"Science is one of my most fascinating interests. So much to learn and only one lifetime to do it in."
"Fun stuff"
"There are interesting topics."
"I should have noticed that the Orange County Astronomy page said 8 PM while the SoCal Science Cafe page said 6:30 PM. Then I would have arranged to attend later rather than paying for an unexpected expensive dinner. I'm sorry to have missed the presentation."
"The Meetup was great and I am looking forward to participating in the next two programs that Dr. Cordell has arranged in this series n March and April."
"If this is typical of the Meetup Group's activities and focus, I look forward to more in the future."
"Very nice and interesting group of people to converse with."
"Can't wait to go to something else!!! Many thanks:)"
"Glad to have found out about this lecture from the emails."
"SoCalSci meetup group has many offerings from which one may choose according to one's interests and willingness to attend."
"it was pity not to have any pics of all the members who attended this event, we should take pic together."
"Love it!"
"It's cool."
"Self anilating dark matter particles, missing sub halos... great stuff!"
"I did not get a chance to meet most of the group personally. They seem to be interested in science and judging from the questions, have good analytical mind. I have not met any group like this since I left UCLA. "
"good"
"Keep up the good work."
"I like Brian Hart's approach - he makes members aware of other science lectures going on in the area"
"Very interesting subject that we are all wanders about dark matter and dark energy. Thanks for organizing this meetup group. "

"Thanks for sharing the info about the Sally Ride Science Festival. I have never heard of this festival til now. Thanks."
"almost always enjoyable!"
"Dr. Kaplinghat is an excellent speaker, able to take complex subjects and translate them into easily understandable terms. I would be interested in knowing if he speaks anyplace else? And if so, when & where? Would also like to see his presentation again, when his audio visuals could be seen. Kudos to Dr. Manoj Kaplinghat and Brian Hart. Thanks for taking the time to put this together."
"Seems like a good group. I would like to actually meet some of the members sometime..."
"Although, I don't want to sound too negative. Let me make myself perfectly clear: overall, this event was awesome. It was the first event I attended and I enjoyed myself very much and look forward to attending many more events in the future. Thanks! :)"
"Excellent talk"
"Good oppertunity to meet peoples who have same frequency of thinking."

You'll find The Science Café at the intersection of Science and Life. It's where scientific research and lattes converge. It's where scholars mix and mingle with the like-minded.
Main Program Website
Each month, we will explore doing a variety of different activities: hearing from scientist speakerrs about the latest breaking scientific discoveries; hosting a "trivia night" at a local bar, restaurant, or cafe, or conducting an event in cooperation with a local science museum or other facility, or watching clips of NOVA's new public television series, "NOVA ScienceNow", produced by WGBH-Boston.
NOVA scienceNOW website
Members of the public and non-scientists are also welcome to join us! Please spread the word and invite your friends to join. Also, check out our Blog, at
The Science Café Blog
NOTE: This is NOT an online-only meetup group. When possible, members are expected to RSVP for events, join in discussions and come to events and mingle with others.
If you are a couch potato, this is NOT the group for you.
