Leeds Skeptics in the Pub

Leeds Skeptics is a friendly group of rationalists and critical thinkers who like to get together to talk and be skeptical about things like homoeopathy, creationism, psychics, aliens, alternative medicine, conspiracy theories, and what's going on in "real" science, medicine, etc. More importantly we like to do this "in the pub."

Synthetic biology promises new technologies that could change our lives through the design and construction of new biological parts and devices, and the redesign of existing, natural biological organisms for new purposes.
