Well, now I am and I'm looking forward to it.
Some cool books to check out.
Be back soon.



I have visited Marie Curie's birthplace; I have consumed a beer in the John Snow pub in what used to be Broad Street; I carried a giant kangaroo's fossil toe bone in my shirt pocket at work every day for two years; I saw Galileo's finger in Florence before they put it on the Web and I know the first name of the inventor of the Wimshurst machine.
I once couriered a type specimen of a very ancient fish from Edinburgh to Australia, in contravention of EU regulations, rather than surrender it to a customs official who asked if it came under anthropology or zoology; I once exhibited two savages in a golden cage for three days and I have frizzled the hairs on my leg by standing too close to lava on the slopes of Kilauea. All those are close enough to true enough for government work.
Everybody has their faults: I have mine in a block of varved shale, sitting on my desk. They are all normal.
Well, something had to be . . .

It looks like we have a few new people already. I'm looking to expand this group, so if anyone has friends and family who are interested in Science and Inquiry, please pass it on.
This week I plan to kick the idea of this group to a few science cafés I know of, and some others forums as well.
Thus far this si the only real science oriented group I can find in Goodreads, which is unfortunate, so let's help it grow a bit.
