From the Science Cafe Orlando<\/a> folks:<\/p>\n

Though Florida Citizens for Science aims at promoting all <\/strong>sciences, it’s generally only evolution that has found a lot of friction in Florida, and so I hope you won’t mind me offering a breath of fresh air on our “favorite” topic.\u00c2\u00a0 Instead of the tired jabber-fest with\/against IDiots about the very existence of evolution, we will hear from and talk with a researcher who relies on evolutionary theory to do her work.\u00c2\u00a0 Though it touches a hot topic, this event is academic, apolitical, and most of all, fun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
