Virtual Drinking Skeptically is a video chat based discussion group that meets at least twice a month. If you're skeptic-friendly and enjoy interesting discussion, geekery, and other silliness, then join us on our next event!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Since Aug 19th is Fraser’s 40th birthday, and I remember when I was that young (ahem, 2010), I decided to cut him some slack and not force him to hang out with us nerds that day. (Well, actually I stupidly scheduled it for that day) Therefore, there will be no chat this week, but come back next week, Aug 26th, for what will sure be an interesting event.
Here’s a little teaser:
In addition to co-hosting Astronomy Cast, Fraser Cain is the publisher of Universe Today, one of the most popular space and astronomy websites on the Internet. Fraser has been working in the software/Internet industry for the last 12 years, and was a partner in two software companies that are now traded publicly. He studied engineering at the University of British Columbia, and is currently completing his computer science degree. Fraser has written 3 books of his own and published a popular astronomy guide called What’s Up 2006. He lives on Vancouver Island, off the West Coast of Canada.
