April 2023: Science Matters

In April 1955, the world celebrated the creation of the first-ever polio vaccine. Funded via crowdsourcing and hyped by the media, it was a huge achievement. A month later, the vaccine was taken off the market. This is the story of mass vaccination and a mass vaccine scare. It's a story of why science matters and of human achievement. A contributing member for the past four years and passionate about history and science, Josh Abadie will be our speaker, and he plans to share some of that passion with us.

Richard Treitel is hosting, and we'll have an awesome Creative Space, Doing Your Best, Life Happens, and lots of fun singing. Don't forget to bring something for the potluck!
