Wicked plants!

Details

You may have noticed that I use exclamation points a lot for the titles of our Meetups, but I really do get THIS excited about each of them!

Let's return to our roots at Observatory (https://observatoryroom.org/2010/03/15/wicked-plants/) for a fascinating exploration of Wicked Plants (https://www.amystewart.com/wickedplants.html), Amy Stewart's book about bizarre and sometimes deadly flora. "Drawing on history, medicine, science, and legend, this compendium of bloodcurdling botany will entertain, alarm, and enlighten."

We had a great time during our first Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Saturday-Scientists/calendar/12941063/?from=list&offset=0) at Observatory, and hope that a bunch of you can join us for round two.

We'll probably hit up Canal Bar (https://www.yelp.com/biz/canal-bar-brooklyn) afterwards again, and I'll be there early (7pm) to explore the amazing little exhibits Observatory has for our perusing pleasure.

Observatory lectures are in a bit of a weird spot, so please RSVP and I'll email Yes peoples the lowdown.
