I’ve talked about Science Ink at tattoo parlors and scientific academies, in New York and Los Angeles. Now I’m delighted to take a stroll through my own town to speak at the Guilford Free Library here in Guilford, CT. I hope Loominaries along the shoreline can join me.
When: Thursday, March 8, 7 pm.
Where: Guilford Free Library, 67 Park Street, Guilford CT.
The talk is free, but you need to register on the library’s web site.
