SUMMARY:The Science of Shakespeare - A Talk by Dan Falk
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, May 16\, CFI Toronto will be hosting a talk by Dan Falk\, author of The Science of Shakespeare: a New Look at the Playwright’s Universe. Falk’s Talk provides highlights from his book\, now available on Goose Lane Editions. \n \nThe Science of Shakespeare explores the connections between Shakespeare’s novel observations of human nature and the larger scientific revolution that was just then getting underway. Falk argues that the legendary playwright was well aware of the changes in the air\, and that he played an important and overlooked role in ushering in a more “modern” way of thinking. \nGeneral admission is $15\, or $10 for CFI members. Click here for tickets and other admission options. \nFalk is a science journalist\, author\, and broadcaster. His books include In Search of Time: Journeys along a Curious Dimension and Universe on a T-Shirt: The Quest for the Theory of Everything\, winner of the 2002 Science in Society Journalism Award. He has written for the Globe and Mail\, the Toronto Star\, The Walrus\, Astronomy\, Sky & Telescope\, and New Scientist; he has also been a regular contributor to CBC Radio’s Ideas. Falk recently completed a prestigious Knight Journalism Fellowship at MIT\, where he undertook much of the research for this book.

SUMMARY:Okanagan - Kids for Inquiry: Ornithologist
DESCRIPTION:  \nI know it’s 9am on a Sunday morning! But the birds will be busy at that time of day\, so it’s a good time to go watch them. \nWe will meet at the entrance to the Rotary Marsh Bird Sanctuary on Sunset Drive\, downtown Kelowna. We will be joined by experts from the Central Okanagan Naturalists Club and the Young Naturalists to look for birds and try to identify some of them. Kids should bring cameras and/or binoculars\, if they have them. Sketch books might be nice for kids who like to draw. \nThis event is designed for kids between 6 and 12 years old. Parents should stay with younger children. Older children may be dropped off\, but parents are welcome to stay. \nAt 10am\, we will walk over the the Rotary Centre to dissect owl pellets! Can you find evidence of what owls eat by investigating one of their regurgitated pellets? \nKids need to bring rubber gloves and tweezers\, paper/notebooks and pencils. Magnifying glasses would be great too! If they bring plain paper and they have a camera\, they can take nice photos of the bones they find in the pellets. \nIf the kids would like\, these activities can contribute towards the Ornithologist patch at DIY.org: \nhttp://diy.org/skills/ornithologist \nYou can find out more about KFI and DIY.org at our website:http://cfiokanagan.ca/kids-for-inquiry.html \nThis event is free\, but a donation would be very much appreciated to cover the cost of the room rental. \nPlease RSVP at the event page on Facebook.

SUMMARY:TORONTO: Science and Philosophy Book Club - Consciousness Explained\, by Daniel Dennett
DESCRIPTION:Join guest host\, Heider Alward for a discussion on Daniel Dennett’s Consciousness Explained. \nConsciousness Explained is a book from 1991 by the American philosopher Daniel Dennett which offers an account of how consciousness arises from interaction of physical and cognitive processes in the brain. This book can be read with genuine pleasure by a non-philosopher; anyone who picks it up will be swept up in the excitement of Dennett’s project. Even a reader who has never looked into a psychology book\, or taken an interest in computers\, will find herself absorbed in summaries of interesting psychological and physiological experiments\, and in brief but clear accounts of curious computer programs. Dennett integrates all these into the development of his ‘Multiple Drafts’ model of consciousness with great skill\, and moves smoothly back and forth between laboratory results and philosophical generalizations. \n  \nThis group is dedicated to providing a friendly\, free-thinking environment in which to discuss books that inspire rewarding conversation on subjects related to science and philosophy. Meetings take place every two months\, on the fourth Monday of the month. All meetings will take place at Scallywags Pub\, 11 St Clair Ave W\, unless otherwise indicated. There is a $4 Recommended Donation.
