    The street address for the Embassy of Sweden (as opposed to the mailing address which does not work in the Metro Trip Planner) is 901 30th Street NW.

    •  It was great and participants were deeply involved. Thanks to the organizers ! 
    •  Klas Kullander is too qualified to give a simple talk on Linnaen taxonomy, especially flying all the way from Uppsala. I appreciate the need to appeal to a general audience but I think many people in the audience were scientists and expected something more technically advanced from Klas. It is ok to have both the American and Swedish scientist be advanced. I am interested in seeing the science done in Sweden _today_ not science done hundreds of years ago (by Carl Linnaeus). I think the scientist, also from Uppsala?, who spoke on pharmacognosy and biodiversity struck a better balance. Thanks, good work on the science cafe.
