Join us for middle eastern food with a NorCal twist and a speaker who's above the rest (literally) at our annual holiday shindig. Enjoy the imaginative offerings of Jannah restaurant, such as carrot ganoush, middle eastern pizzas, and pyllo doughs stuffed with meats or vegetables. Hobnob with your local friends and out-of-town colleagues visiting for the annual AGU meeting. And relax to a top-notch lineup of seriously unserious science trivia, whacky door prizes, and see visions of the earth as you've never seen it before.
