Activities

The Sunday Assembly

Sunday Assembly communities are most well-known for their monthly "Sunday Assembly," which has live music, a program with a speaker and MC, social time with food, and FREE child care (yes, you read that right!). And we usually stream these on Zoom! We often have free lunch events after, with opportunities to win the coveted Best Chili, Best Cookie, or Best Soup trophies.

But we also typically have other events throughout the month that involve food, community service, physical activity, and opportunities to meet new people and stay connected with each other. Check us out on Meetup, and we'll see you there.

Stuff we do:

Regaining a Sense of Touch, aka Wormy Feelings

Why can some animals grow back missing body parts while we can't? What if we could rebuild parts of the nervous system after injury, like restoring a lost sense of touch? In Dr. Ricardo Zayas' lab, they study flatworms called planarians that can regenerate any part of their body, including their nerve cells. Cut one into pieces, and each piece can grow into a whole new worm; it sounds like science fiction, but it is actual biology. Dr. Ricardo Zayas, Biology Professor at SDSU, will explore what these strange but fascinating creatures can teach us about how stem cells make new sensory cells. Along the way, we’ll look at animals that can repair their nervous systems and ask what it might take for humans to do the same.

Some of the best community time is staying after the assembly for coffee and snacks and to hang out with other assemblers, so please do.

You may, but don't have to, RSVP on MeetUp.
