<News 1: What to expect at a science café>

 

There is a movement to bring scientists out of the lab and into the community for dialog over dinner and drinks. There are now more than a hundred science cafés at bars and restaurants throughout the United States.

 

> 과학자들이 실험실 밖으로 나와 지역사회 주민들과 저녁식사와 음료를 마시며 어울리는 운동이 일고 있습니다. 현재 미국 전역에 100개 이상의 바와 식당에 과학카페들을 마련해 놓고 있습니다.

 

<John’s Paraphrasing 1>

Scientists are known for spending their time and energy in the laboratory. However they have been perhaps removed from the rest of a society.

 


So there is now a campaign or movement to bring the scientists back together with other people.

 


They have been invited to come, spend their time enjoying social activities, eating dinner together having some drinks together

 


This environment can be found in cafés which are probably located in restaurants and bars all over the United States

Focus and self-control are two of the essential life skills. They’re simple ideas, but (they are) difficult to master in a wired society where multi-taking is valued

<John’s Paraphrasing 2>

To survive in this world there are many skills we need. There are many necessary, essential things to do just to live. Two of them are focus and self control.

 


Well that might sound easy. That might sound like a lot of common sense. But the truth is it’s very difficult to develop good skills in focusing and self control. Why?

 


Because in this thing of age and in this modern society, in the internet connected wire society we are all required to do so many things at the same time. It’s difficult to focus.
