Date

Time
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm


As part of our #HumanismAtHome initiative, we will be holding our first Facebook Watch Party this coming Sunday, 12 April, 2pm, on our Facebook page.

A Watch Party is a new way for people to watch videos on Facebook together in real time. Once a Watch Party is started, participants can watch videos, live or recorded, and interact with one another around them in the same moment. 

TOPIC: REVISITING CARL SAGAN

Carl Sagan was an American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science popularizer, and science communicator.
