The next meeting of the Rocky Mountain
Skeptics will be Saturday, April 13, starting at 10 AM. It will
be held at the usual place--the University Club on the University
of Colorado (Boulder) campus--and the price is $12 per person,
which includes the breakfast buffet. Reservations
must be made by April 8 at noon. Bela will provide
directions if you don't know how to get there.
Meeting: "When will we hear from the aliens? If
we do hear from them, what would it mean? And what happens next?"
Speaker: Seth Shostak
Seth Shostak comes to Boulder from
the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)
in California, where he is an astronomer engaged in this search.
While he has spent the majority of his life studying galaxies,
he now occupies his days with efforts to eavesdrop on alien radio
broadcasts. He is the author of hundreds of popular articles
on astronomy, film, technology, and sundry other topics. His
recent book, Sharing the Universe, describes his current
endeavor to prove that we are not alone. He is also a lecturer
at the California Academy of Sciences and a frequent sound-bite
artist on TV and radio.
The Rocky Mountain Skeptics hold a monthly breakfast meeting in Boulder (usually the third Saturday of each month, occasionally the fourth or the second). The meetings feature guest speakers and lively discussions on a number of topics of interest to the skeptical community.
