**Welcome to Our First Meetup!**

If you’re a progressive who enjoys laid-back, thought-provoking conversations with people who share your values, you’ve found your community!

Here’s what to expect:

✅ **Introductions & Mingling (30 min)**
We’ll start with a casual chat to settle in, get to know each other, and share names (pronouns welcome!) plus a fun random fact.

✅ **Discussion Rounds (90 min)**
We’ll choose 3–5 topics together from a prepared list—feel free to bring your own ideas! No expertise required—just curiosity and an open mind.

* **Round 1:** Everyone gets a couple minutes to share initial thoughts.
* **Round 2:** We go deeper with follow-up comments and new perspectives.

✅ **Open Social Time**
After the structured discussion, stick around and chat as long as you’d like!

Postdoc Brewing – indoor and outdoor seating, beer & nonalcoholic options, and usually a food truck! 🔗 [Postdoc Brewing Website](https://www.postdocbrewing.com/)
