The mission of the Cape Cod Science Cafe is to create a social and educational forum where chemists and the general public can meet in a relaxed atmosphere with food and drink and offer an educational presentation that engages the public and teaches them about critical issues involving the chemistry, science and technology that impact the local community. Organizers are local Cape Cod business owners: Jack Driscoll who is the PR Chair of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society (NESACS) and Jennifer Maclachlan, NESACS PR Committee Member. The Cape Cod Science Cafe is made possible by funding from NESACS and PID Analyzers, LLC as well as local Cape Cod organizations and businesses. The American Chemical Society (ACS) is the world's largest scientific society with over 164,000 members. NESACS is one of the largest local sections with over 7,000 members located in Southeastern MA, Boston, the North Shore & NH.
