Hello heathens!

Our next meeting will be this Thursday! We will be hosting our first speaker of the year, Andy Thomson, who is a psychiatrist at CAPS. The meeting will be at 7pm on August 31 in New Cabell 309. Room requests are still taking a while to get processed, so please check your email for any updates on the location. The talk will be an about one hour long, but the room is reserved for two hours. Feel free to stay longer and discuss the many interesting questions that will certainly be raised by the topic. 

Here's a description of the talk:

"Love's Labors Lost: a Darwinian view of depression."

This is relevant to VAA because religion in this country, and elsewhere, has been a major obstacle to teaching evolution. The study of evolution is crucial to understanding health and illness and even depression. 

Hope to see everyone there!
