November 11th: MEMORIES: Facts or Fiction?

This weeks topic was inspired by one of Jacobs submissions about memory. 

Some starting points for contemplation while you listen to this TED Radio segment:

What is a memory?

Are there true/ false memories?

What do our memories say about our identities?

TED Radio Hour NPR - Can Eyewitnesses Create Memories?

You are welcome to listen to listen to the full length podcast, however it is only necessary for you to listen to the segment titled "Can Eyewitnesses Create Memories?".

October 28th: SCIENCE AND SOUL

This podcast is a host to all sorts of disciplines, including (but not limited to) neuroscience, psychology, theology, and philosophy.  This podcast might make you think about your own morals and values, so don't be afraid to lend us your beliefs because they are bound to be unique.

October 14th:  FOOD: Facts, Feasts, and the Industry that Fuels Them

Our originally scheduled meeting falls on October 14th, which is also Canadian Thanksgiving.  Since the University is closed, we will be hosting an informal dinner event at 7:30pm.  This event does not count as a member responsibility, although we do have some juicy conversation to divulge into over a tasty dinner!

• Mark Bittman - "Not All Industrial Food is Evil"

September 30th:  BODY MODIFICATION: 'Otherkin' Subculture and Plastic surgery
