[close] This Group explores scientific topics. We have an active monthly book club, as well as discussions on a variety of topics including Science in the News, new science book reviews, and any general science topic imaginable including history of science, physics, astronomy, biology, medical and environmental studies, to name but a few.

[close] It will be one book per month voted for from a selection nominated by each member of the group. We then have a WhatsApp/Goodread group discussion as we read to share insights, learning and takeaways as they come to us. At the end we can do a full review and consider some questions. Perhaps along the lines of-: 1) Favourite quote and why this stood out 2) if you got the chance to ask the author a question what would it be? 3) what new things did you learn? 4) what did you think about the authors research? Was it easy to see where it came from and were the sources credible? 5) how did the book leave you feeling? 6) identify 1-3 things you are going to do with what you learnt
