Discussion Group 2 - South Hills

You asked for it! A Discussion Group 2 - in the South Hills area.

What is the difference between “science” and “pseudoscience”? Is there a valid set of criteria that differentiates between the two? Or is it like the politician's famous line about pornography, to wit, “I can't define it but I know it when I see it”?

And why does it matter? Or does it matter?

PFC Monthly discussion groups are open to all - if the topic interests you, and you wish to engage in rational and/or evidence-based dialogue, you'll be welcome! Dress is casual. Discussion is moderated but informal - speak up as much or as little as you wish.

Discussion Group 2 meets in a conference room at the Sunnyhill Unitarian Universalist Church in Mt. Lebanon. Please use the side door entrance on the right side of the building, NOT the main entrance. PFC will supply light refreshments. See you there!
