• The Control of Nature by John McPhee.

Meeting Notice for December 9

We will have our penultimate meeting for 2016 December 9 at the Eastside Branch of the Lexington Public Library.  Deliberations start at 9:45am.


Let's consider discussing one or more of the cognitive biases presented (linked) on the SIG web page at http://reasonockhammencken.blogspot.com/2016/11/for-december-2.html
