Science Cafe coming Wednesday (Feb. 15): The science of the "winter blues"

The next Science Cafe New Hampshire comes up Wednesday, discussing Seasonal Affective Disorder - the "winter blues" if you will. A psychologist and psychiatrist will be there as the experts to be peppered by your questions.

It should be of interest whether you're affected by SAD, know somebody who might be affected, are completely ignorant of the topic, or even doubt that "winter blues" is a real disorder. Judging from the high quality of the previous Science Cafes, even if you don't particularly care one way or the other it will be worthwhile: There's something so invigorating about having a good beer and burger while listening to intelligent people discuss a topic that they actually know something about - instead of merely ranting along based on casual heresay, which tends to be the level of public discourse these days.

I will miss this one - it's the first Science Cafe that I haven't been able to moderate - but you shouldn't.
