No, not facts about Zombies, rather those ‘facts’ that permeate society, that somehow people still think are true (and some that might actually have some validity) yet seem to be repeated far too easily by those that really should know better.
Do we only use 10% of our brain? Are Hippos really Africa's most dangerous large animal? Do menstrual cycles really synchronise in co-habiting women? Come along and figure out the facts from the zombie facts.
About the speaker
Sean Slater has been the Vice-chair of Edinburgh Skeptics for several years, and despite living in Fife is prepared to brave the Queensferry Crossing when the occasion demands it.
Attendance is free. No ticket is required. We operate on a first come first served basis. It's relatively rare that we fill up the function room, but please be aware that if things are looking busy, the earlier you get there the less chance there is of not getting in.
Although the event is free, we will be asking for donations at the end of the talk. Participants are under no obligation whatsoever to donate, however please rest assured that the money we collect doesn't end up in anyone's pocket - it is used to fund our overhead costs, and travel/accommodation for our speakers who come from further afield.
Accessibility: The Admiral Woods Bar now has a functioning lift which can take wheelchair users (or others who are unable to manage stairs) down to the function room. There is also a disabled toilet in the function room area.
