Dec. 16 Annual Holiday Dinner with Science Comedian Brian Malow

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, Dec. 16, to join NCSWA at the New Delhi restaurant in downtown San Francisco for the annual holiday dinner.  Prepare to have your funny bone tickled by “The Science Comedian” Brian Malow, who has brought his stand-up routine to the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS), Tech TV, Discovery and A&E. Also, enjoy the opportunity to mingle with news media colleagues in town to attend the meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Of course, festivities will include NCSWA’s own annual science trivia contest with door prizes. More information coming soon.
