About us
The Freethinkers Forum of Tallahassee Meetup offers a friendly and educational venue for all to learn and discuss thought-provoking presentations. Those who believe that opinions, religious and otherwise, should be formed based on logic and reason will feel right at home. If you are unfamiliar with freethought or just curious, join in and you'll have an opportunity to learn what freethinkers, humanists, agnostics, atheists, skeptics, and critical thinkers are all about.
Our focus is to provide an environment in which to learn about and discuss a wide variety of subjects including science, social science, medicine, philosophy, religion, history, literature, and current events, to name a few. Meetings begin with a presentation that is not necessarily limited to a secular topic, followed by lively and informative conversation. We meet every Wednesday via Zoom from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. (prior to COVID, we met at UUCT). We start at 7:00 sharp.

The Challenge of Popularizing Science, Featuring Joe Schwarcz
·OnlineOnlineLINK TO ZOOM MEETING:
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88384219320?pwd=dlR1WHpBM1JJT2ZXdmE5dSthRWp1UT09PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Storytelling is a great way to interest people in science, and few people know that fact as well as Joe Schwarcz does. After all, there are fascinating stories galore, like why some people see red over red food dyes, why Sherlock Holmes was interested in jellyfish, why King George III was plagued with purple urine, why phrenology is a pseudoscience, and a great many more.
MEET THE SPEAKER: Joe Schwarcz, PhD, CM, is director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society, which has the mission of separating sense from nonsense. He is the recipient of numerous awards for teaching chemistry and for interpreting science for the public. Among them, Schwarcz was the first non-American to win the American Chemical Society’s prestigious Grady-Stack award for popularizing chemistry, and in 2015 he was awarded the Balles Prize for Critical Thinking by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.
“Dr Joe” has hosted a radio show on science for forty-five years, made hundreds of television appearances, writes a regular newspaper column, and is the author of twenty best-sellers. He has been awarded four honorary doctorates and is a Member of the Order of Canada. Schwarcz is also an amateur magician, often spicing up his presentations with a little magic.
