Background info: Edutainment Forum is a bi-weekly series that is intended to be eclectic and dedicated to educate with an entertainment flavor. A meeting theme will be announced before each meeting as will links to some videos related to that topic . We will stream one or more of those online videos or others as suggested by participants with newcomers' preferences given priority. The videos should be limited to at most about 20 minutes each to have time to view the theme from different perspectives. We will enjoy glorious discussion after each video, hopefully satisfying most questions and interests before moving on to the next. The videos are meant to illuminate most of the major facets of the meeting theme but time and engaging divergent conversation may not allow a satisfactory feeling of completion. We will vote at the end of each session whether or not to continue the theme at the next scheduled session. Feedback comments are always appreciated as are suggestions for videos and future themes.
