It’s time for another SciCafe, the awesome event at the American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West at 79th) that brings together inquisitive minds for an informal evening emceed by experts on cutting-edge science topics.  Each month, SciCafe lets you socialize with friends or new people by talking science over cocktails… it’s a happy hour Mr. Wizard would be proud of.  This month’s SciCafe should be an interesting one, as the topic is “The Future of Stem Cells.”  Kristin Baldwin from the Scripps Research Department of Cell Biology will come to the event to discuss cutting-edge stem cell technologies.  She should be able to offer a great and well-informed perspective on the subject… while a postdoc in the lab of Nobel Laureate Dr. Richard Axel, she cloned an entire mouse from a single neuron from its nose, an experiment that paid homage to Woody Allen’s film Sleeper.
