Greetings Friends of Science, Reason, and Critical Thinking,
It certainly has been a weird week in news. Including science news. I want to highlight one science topic that has been mostly missed in the news. Most people heard about the Nobel Peace Prize… Sadly it overshadowed nine other people who received it for their work in science and one who received in in literature. (Side note: the Peace Prize winner actually praised someone who wanted it but didn’t get it.) The media works in funny ways sometimes.
As always there are an amazing number of opportunities to engage with and learn about Science here in the Bay Area. With that in mind I’d like to highlight a few that I think look particularly worthy of your consideration…
