We don't need our presidential candidates to be scientists, although many of us wouldn't complain too much if it were so. We do need them to have an understanding of how important science must be in forming public policy and informing our leadership in resolving vital issues. ScienceDebate is a drive started by several scientists and science communicators in an attempt to hold at least one debate focusing on science in 2008's presidential cycle. The demand is growing for a debate in the 2016 cycle, with more than 43000 signers.
Sheril Kirshenbaum is the Executive Director of Science Debate and will be talking to Greg Laden about progress being made and prospects for finally putting science on the table as a topic for discussion in the election.

Education, community building and leadership development are areas of interest to many of us involved in the secular, freethought and atheist movements. Kevin Jagoe is a Humanist Celebrant, a member of the LGBTQ Humanist Council, an instructor for the Humanist Institute and a Youth Director for the First Unitarian Society. Kevin has also recently begun Seminary to become a Unitarian Universalist minister.
Join us this Sunday as we speak with Kevin about how he fits all of these identities together into what is a fairly traditional model for congregational leadership development, and how his work contributes to the advancement of rights and representation of nonbelievers within our different communities and in our larger society.

In the United States guns are a difficult topic to engage in a dispassionate argument over rights versus public safety. Emotions run high because of the number of deaths due to gunfire balanced against the defense of the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Can atheists and skeptics find a way to talk about this and figure out how the country can find an acceptable solution that both respects rights and protects public safety? We may not do it all in an hour, but we hope to have a civil conversation. Art Kallenbach is a member of the Minnesota Atheists Board of Directors, and has been collecting guns since he was 11 years old. He is a member of both the NRA and the Minnesota Gun Owners Political Action Committee and is licensed to carry a concealed weapon in both Minnesota and Utah. Plus he is a lot of fun to play pool with. This is going to be less of a debate than a question and answer session, but we do hope to field calls and emails on this sensitive topic. Mike Haubrich is not an expert, neither does Art claim to be. That being said, we have opinions.
