Do you like science and the natural world?  Do you enjoy quiet, pleasant, small-group conversation? 

Please join us if you truly enjoy discussing all types of science:  biology, chemistry, astronomy, geology, ecology, meteorology, horticulture, physics, epidemiology, marine science, nanotechnology, mathematics  (the queen of the sciences!) , neuroscience, computer science, scientific technology, medicine and related arts, engineering, etc. 

To accommodate both early risers and folks who prefer evening gatherings, we meet at both times, usually in a restaurant or a cafe.  All meetings are free, but it is customary to purchase a refreshment in order to support the commercial establishments in which we meet.

Our group is comprised of individuals eager to discuss real science by using language and concepts that render the topics accessible and interesting to people who already have some science literacy and would like to acquire more.

To facilitate conversation about various scientific notions, we center our discussions on serious documentaries and/or essays, articles, and books which we have individually viewed/read before each Meetup.  Each meeting's topic and title are emailed to you when a new meetup is announced .  Attendees are encouraged to research the topic beforehand and they are required to RSVP.

Please note that to participate in this Meetup having a background in one of the sciences is very helpful and having the ability to acquire knowledge and to think critically is essential.  Courtesy, friendliness, and participation without pecuniary self-interest are assumed.

If you think it would be fun to have a thoughtful exchange of information and ideas about science and the natural world, please come willing to talk, listen, think, teach, and learn!
