After-hours drinks at the Museum of Natural History
 The American Museum of Natural History this week resumes its free, after-hours cocktail series open to science geeks 21 and older.
This Wednesday’s theme: Adventures in Superstring Theory.
Theoretical physicist S. James Gates, Jr. will talk about the discovery of computer codes like those used in web browsers embedded in the equations of superstring theory.
This month’s SciCafe will be held in the Wallach Orientation Center on the museum’s fourth floor. Admission is free after 7 p.m. but you’ll need to buy your own cocktails.
The next SciCafe, set for Feb. 1, will focus on the theme The Virus Hunters with virologist Nathan Wolfe and computational biologist Daniel Janies.
On March 7, the SciCafe theme will be From Poison to Panacea: Using Snake Venom to Combat Cancer. The guest speaker will be Frank Markland, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology.
