Café Inquiry (ONLINE) - Trust in Science


Details
This event is held online. To see the Zoom link, RSVP and look at the right hand panel.
In the United States there seems to be a decrease in the trust we have for scientists and science. Is this true? If so, why? And if not, why does it seem that there is? Is the current level of trust appropriate? At the next Cafe Inquiry ONLINE, we will discuss what we know about trust in science in the U.S. and around the world. Links to background information will be posted here a few days before the meeting. Hope to see you there!
Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.
Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.
Café Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month IN PERSON on the second Sunday and ONLINE on the fourth Sunday.
