Science

[close] This is a discussion forum for fans of the Brain Science Podcast. The Brain Science Podcast is "for everyone who has a brain;" which hopefully includes YOU. Its goal is to explore how recent discoveries in neuroscience are unraveling the mysteries of how our brains make us who we are. The focus is on the books that have been featured on the Brain Science Podcast, but it is also a great place to share other books about the brain and neuroscience.

[close] Non-fiction discussion book club for people who like to have deep and sophisticated moderated conversations about arts & sciences after reading the best world non-fiction literature. Join us for thought provoking Socratic discussion after completion of the relevant book. This non-fiction discussion book club is Toronto/GTA based, but after 2020 move to online video discussions, it is essentially open to anyone in the world (just check the list of previous books to make sure you are comfortable with that level of literature) The group calendar, actual membership and event details/link for videoconferencing is at meetup.com, but there are no fees for participants. Note, that we have in-depth real-time dialogs/discussions of book themes and questions for 2 hours in small group (6-7 people) – very interactive/face-to-face, and not based on written comments or reviews We accept new members, but check the rules below carefully ( no exceptions for people who did not read the book or want to attend in listen-only mode will be made)

[close] This book club provides a relaxed environment for learning something new and getting outdoors with other nature enthusiasts. We read books with strong ties to nature and the Great Plains from a variety of genres. When we can't meet for walking and talking, we'll chat here.
