ure, the Museum of Science is a good place to look at displays of mounted butterflies and fossils. But if it’s live conversation you’re looking for, check out the Book Club for the Curious, a barely advertised but enthusiastic meeting place for those who are interested in science and technology and how it affects society (and vice-versa).
