What is Science, Really?

Published at 08:08 on 01/02/2010

This week the Oxford Atheist Society will host a talk by Dr Joseph Trakalo on the subject of "What Is Science, Really?" at 8pm on Thursday 4th February at Keble College. For atheists and secularists trying to understand this world by rational means, this is a crucial question.

Dr Joseph Trakalo is a researcher in geonomics at the Wellcome Trust Centre in Oxford, as well as an active atheist and humanist. There will be an opportunity for a couple of Society members to have dinner with the speaker before the talk - email me for details.<\p>

A member of the committee will be at the lodge shortly before the start to direct people to the event. The event will be free to members of the Oxford Secular Society or Atheist Society; entry is £2 for non-members, although you are welcome to join at the event. There is a Facebook event at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=292246119617.<\p>
