One of the most fun aspects for me was seeing how lively the discussions were, and the response of “I’m not a science person, but this was really good.”
I also invited some community partners from local businesses or organizations, to share their own stories (adding another basis for conversation besides the book and video, that was more of a local perspective). It was great to see how the group enjoyed that aspect and connected more with the community and the science aspects because of the local connection. This might be a interesting avenue to continue a similar program after this series is over.
