This Meetup Group is for people with an interest in all-things-science to get together, and not just on Saturdays.

Or your friends are hinting that they'd really rather not hear about Planet Earth anymore. Quite possibly, while others reminisce about Saturday morning cartoons, you fondly recall watching Mr. Wizar …

How many people live, work, play, or just pass through New Jersey's Great Swamp region every day? The answer is "a lot."

Hopefully, this group can remedy the situation by getting more people out to experience and learn about Great Swamp, its wild inhabitants, and …
