EXOPLANETS top the Agenda, MonSFFA meeting Sept 20
Join us September 20, by Zoom or in person at the Hotel Nouvel, 1740 René-Lévesque Blvd W, Montreal, corner of St Mathieu.
Our guest speaker is Riley Rosener , a Physics Masters student at the Université de Montréal doing research on the detection and 
characterization of exoplanets. They recently moved to Montréal after doing a B.S. in Astrophysics (and a minor in History) at UChicago. They have been a long-time fan of science fiction, and particularly enjoy reading new SFF, exploring various TTRPG systems, and learning about unfamiliar history. They will be talking about the history and science behind the detection of the first exoplanets, modern developments in exoplanet astronomy, and their own research.
Also on the agenda:
The life, times, and music of Tom Lehrer, who famously put the Periodic Table of Elements to music! Expect a sing-a-long!
Precognition, Prophesy, and Possibility: Different Ways of Knowing the Future, and What it Does to Us.
