Here's what our group looks like: https://www.meetup.com/thinking-peoples-group/photos/36028739/534705091/ Food for thought, not necessarily the discussion topic: Vera Rubin (July 23, 1928 – December 25, 2016) was an astronomer who pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates. She uncovered the discrepancy between the predicted and observed angular motion of galaxies by studying galactic rotation curves, the first evidence for the galaxy rotation problem, one key piece of evidence for dark matter. Some other stuff we discuss: 1\. Question based \- somewhat structured discussions around a few central questions each time\, related to topics in the sciences\, social sciences\, literature\, technology\, art\, philosophy\, etc\. Some will be hosted by professors or other experts\, and others will be more decentralized\. In either case\, participation is encouraged\. They’re not lectures or presentations\. 2\. Short readings\, fiction or non\, including short stories\, articles\, and excerpts from longer pieces 3\. Short art films and similar 4\. Short videos and podcasts of various sorts\, or excerpts from longer ones Looking forward to seeing you.
