                 "ASK A SCIENTIST" SPEAKER SERIES BEGINS

Minnesota Sea Grant is reviving the popular Café Scientifique speaker 
series with ASK A SCIENTIST café discussions in Grand Marais and 
Duluth. This month, UMD's Large Lakes Observatory/Physics Department 
researcher Jay Austin addresses Lake Superior's warming trend.

Austin and his colleagues recently attracted national attention when 
they reported that Lake Superior is warming about twice as fast as the 
air around it. Austin will discuss his work and the relationships among 
ice cover, air temperature, wind speed, and water temperature on:

Tuesday, April 3, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Blue Water Café
On the harbor, Grand Marais, MN

Wednesday, April 4, 7 to 8 p.m.
Amazing Grace Bakery and Café
Canal Park, Duluth, MN

All café discussions are free and will take place on the first Tuesday 
and Wednesday of each month.

ASK A SCIENTIST encourages people to talk about ideas in science and 
technology with researchers. Inspired by the internationally successful 
Café Scientifique and backed by NovaScience Now, Minnesota Sea Grant 
invites youths and adults to join the discussions. Expect games, 
prizes, and to experience the thrill of discovery. Visit 
www.seagrant.umn.edu/news for more information.
