Forming new skeptic's group in North SF Bay Area

Quote:

The North Bay, and Sonoma County in particular, is a hotbed of anti-scientific thinking. Vaccine hysteria, modern medicine denial, ideological faux-environmentalism, you name it, we've got it.

I'm starting this group in hopes of connecting with some like-minded locals. Even if changing the tide is a futile effort, at least we'll be able to commiserate. Preferably over drinks.

Right now all we have is a Facebook Group. The only members at the moment both do web work, so I'd expect this will change soon.

If you don't have Facebook and would like more information or want to help out, feel free to send me a private message on this site.

Might I also suggest putting together a Meetup.com group. It's worked great so far here in Houston.

Definitely plan to make a meetup page. I'll post back here whenever that happens.
