Like Darwin Day but with a better sense of humor, the second annual Carl Sagan Day takes place tomorrow at Broward College Central Campus.
Hundreds of scientific minds with gather to celebrate the life and times of Sagan, the renowned astronomist, author, and pot smoker. Sponsored by the Center for Inquiry, the James Randi Educational Foundation, Florida Athiests and Secular Humanists, and Broward College, the conference should be a skeptical good time. James Randi, John Boswell, Hal Bidlack, and other celebrity guests will be lecturing and participating in workshops throughout the day.
For those who get all wobbly over the thought of meeting said
notable skeptics, thinkers, and scientists will have an opportunity to
share an intimate fund raising dinner with them tonight at Marumi Sushi
in Plantation. The restaurant will be closed from 5 to 7 p.m. for the
six-course dinner with drinks, which has a requested donation price of
$125, which will ensure more scientific oriented events like this in
the future.
