Past Events
The Humanist Focus Group of the Inland Northwest is a community of individuals who believe that Humanism offers both a realistic and responsible guide to a happy life without having the supernatural as part of their philosophy. Between September and May they meet the second Saturday of the month for a breakfast meeting at the Golden Corral Buffet. On the third Sunday they meet at the Unitarian Universalist Church 4340 W Fort Wright Dr, Spokane, WA at 12:45 pm for a presentation and discussion. All presentations are open to anyone interested.

"SCIENCE AND SURVIVAL IN THE ANTARCTIC"

Lee Alkire and Cheryl Westerman Alkire will share dramatic ice and wildlife images of their December 2011 voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula. Their expedition ship made Zodiac landings in an area where an epic survival and rescue took place a hundred years ago. The Alkires will also share their visits to Port Lockroy (a decommissioned historic British Antarctic Survey site) and Palmer Station (one of the three largest active US science bases in the Antarctic).

Cheryl will briefly relate her interactions with female personnel at Palmer Station and relate how that has changed the previously un-apologetically male culture of science in the Antarctic.
