**The Public is invited to the opening reception on Saturday, February 3 from 1- 3:30 pm in the Community Room of the library.
His dad, Charlie Brewer (a professional photographer/cinematographer) had a major influence on Al’s photographic talent. The love of nature and patience when photographing were two qualities his father taught him. Al ‘s works have been published in Offshore Magazine, Cape Cod Guide Magazine, the Reminder paper and the North American Fishing Club Cook Book. Besides photography, he is an avid kayaker and outdoorsman. Al currently lives in “the woods” of Bolton CT with his wife Linda and their two cats Emma and Phoebe.
Throw out those old paradigms!
Jeff Holcombe will be conducting a seminar at the gallery called “Paradigms: Love Them and Leave Them.”
Part of the Science Up! series at Agonist Gallery, this seminar will consider the idea that science depends on a willingness to give up on its most cherished theories. Scientific progress requires leaving behind old ideas that have outlived their evidence. Societies commit enormous resources to researchers whose focus is to challenge prevailing authority. This is a tenuous relationship. When the challenges are considered heresy, the whole enterprise is in jeopardy. Science is not a belief system. It thrives on the power of evidence to overturn the general assumptions that everyone knows but can’t support. We’ll discuss several of the most revolutionary paradigm shifts in the history of science, including Evolution, Disease, Life, Geology, and Genetics. We’ll also try to identify where the current insurgencies are troubling the authorities now.
