#NYCSciTweetUp #9 will be on June 2nd (most likely - but check the Facebook page in a few days for confirmation). No topic - this is an informal networking event. Everyone is welcome. The location depends on how many people indicate on Facebook they will show up. This is the week of the World Science Festival, when many guests out of town will be in New York, and the locals are all excited about science. So, this is usually the biggest NYCSciTweetUp of the year and our usual locations may not be large enough.
The exact dates of other events, e.g., evening events in New York City and San Francisco, and tweetups in Washington D.C., Chicago and Raleigh, have not been set yet. I will let you know when they are.
