Those of you living in Bosto-Camber-ville* might be interested in attending tonight's Science by the Pint. Our featured speaker is Alex Bradley - the author of the guest post critiquing the Arsenic paper a while back. Come to Tavern in the Square - Porter Square tonight, March 8 at 7pm to chat with Alex and his colleagues about microbially-catalyzed biogeochemical cycles and the coevolution of life and Earth. Yours truly will be hosting, and it will be awesome. Cheers! * Boston, Cambridge, or Somerville, MA
