… With proper management, big data can be used to unlock new sources of economic value, provide fresh insights into science and hold governments to account. This meetup is for big data science. Data scientists are welcome to join this group and exchange ideas.  

If you are a women educated in sciences, e.g physics, chemistry,  biology, computer science, math and engineering, etc. then lets meet and have some non-scientific fun.

If you are available to plan and host activities in SF, Palo Alto area, please let me know. 

… We can show films relating to systems science, Earth sciences, and climate change on our large movie screen. If people would like to, we can start with Alder Stone's films which are designed to be understood by everyone -- but we have many other worthy resources as well.  And we encourage meetup participants to bring their own resources -- material, ideas, and experiences -- to share.  We will have round table discussions to communicate what we are learning and experiencing.  We want to integrat …

This is a monthly book club for people who love to read Science Fiction and Fantasy.

A few of us (well, two) aspiring science fiction/fantasy writers were looking for a serious critique and write-sharing group to join. We thought, hey, lots of people in Berkeley must love sci-fi...we just have to find them and get them in a cafe. The group is open to anyone who is writing in the genre or who enjoys it enough to read other people's writing and provide serious and supportive critique. What kind of writing? Screenplays, novels, short stories, YA...you name it. We share our writing …

Exploration of themes in cognitive science and evolutionary psychology & of the implications of the research and thinking in these and related disciplines.

This group's goal is to get exercise while exploring and learning about the geology and natural science of the San Francisco Bay Area. The aim is the mid-point between the hiking groups that don't stop long enough to explore and learn about what they're passing and the nature groups that see lots of great stuff, but don't get that much exercise. Hikes will be lead by members with knowledge of unique, exotic, or otherwise fascinating features of our area. If you have a favorite hike that you'd l …

… Your ideas can be as wild as you like, but they must never conflict with the cannon of measurement-based theory collectively called "science". CLINE actively leans away from engineering and toward science. There is something about the immediacy of writing code and designing hardware that grabs hold of our brain, holds us down in the trees, and won't let us float up to where we might see the forest. As a result, there is less and less science in Computer Science. Lots of practice, very little th …

… We cover topics that range from beliefs, history, science, psychology, culture, the arts, personal relationships, and literature, within a Biblical context. Did you know that the Bible is not just an instruction manual? Did you know that the Bible is not just for Christians? Did you know that the Bible is one of the most important project records of God, humanity and the universe? Did you know that the Bible is not mystical?

… Merge science and religion/philosophy or you will never understand much more than you do now. I do not propose that we combine church and state. I propose that there should be no church and no state since those are the extremes of insanity. Over the years my mind has been to both extremes, reductionism in how I was autistic as a child and now only some of it remains (and I wouldn't choose to give up that logical ability), and holistic in how in college I practiced a very small amount of …

We discuss recent developments in the science of consciousness and the emerging holistic paradigm. Learn about meditation, prayer healing, telepathy and self realization. We will study the latest scientific research in these areas as well as teachings of ancient and modern philosophers, psychologist and mystics.
