Frontiers in Science Lecture Series
The Club initiated its Frontiers in Science lecture series in 2011 for the community at large, believing that the love of scientific knowledge would attract a devoted audience. Since then, scientists and other experts have lectured on a wide variety of topics, including particle physics, volcanoes, brain science, earthquakes, forestry, genetics, cancer and nutrition.
Lectures are generally held on the fourth Tuesday of the month from September to May, excluding December. (The schedule may deviate to accommodate the Thanksgiving holiday.) The venue is the Belfry, 302 E. Main, in Sisters. Lectures generally start at 7PM, with a no-host social hour starting at 6PM.
