The dinner table is an excellent venue for communication, but science is seldom the topic of choice. Yet a full table offers many objects and utensils, not to mention food, which can be used to present a variety of scientific topics. In this interactive session, four tables will be laid out by the speakers to communicate on various aspects of physics, nanotechnologies or the genetics of taste. They will then give hands-on demonstrations of how to use the dinner table to present their subject, and how this can initiate discussions. Diners will move from table to table, thus visiting all four in the course of the session. The session will end with an open discussion on simple, informal science communication, including a brainstorming session on where and how it can be implemented.
