Let Me Clarify

There seems to be some confusion.

We are not a club purely for scientists, nor are we a club solely for poets. We are a club that seeks to balance on the intersection of diverse and seemingly disconnected disciplines, in order to better understand the world, what we ourselves hope to study someday, and each other. You don’t have to write poetry. You don’t have to know science. If you’re out there, we want your perspective. If you’re out there, you have a valuable lens through which to interpret and share. Our goal is to make what is technical accessible to the layman in a way that enriches both the knowledgeable person’s understanding of their topic, and the layman’s understanding of the world. The most important thing to remember is that we’re all simultaneously playing the role of the knowledgeable and the layman, just in different disciplines. So learn from us, let us learn from you, and as a whole we’ll all know more.

No technical knowledge or writing experience required, just come learn something, write your associations and thoughts down on it for 15 minutes in whatever form you like (haikus, poetry, prose, technical writing, free verse, anything you want), and discuss. 
We have only two requirements: (1) Respect  and  (2) No disclaimers.
