Colin Thornton is the editor and contributing writer for the blog Science-Based Parenting.

He will be presenting "Monsters, Myths, and Legends" and explain the historical and scientific truth behind various creatures and supernatural beings, such as vampires, fairies, dragons, and more. He will attempt to demystify their origins by examining the cultural fears surrounding their advent. He will also give freethinking parents a way to discuss these creatures with their children in a way that fosters a respect for science and reality.

      “ It was really enjoyable (PA and noise issues notwithstanding). The speaker was good (though I'm biased - he's a friend), and I thought the topic was entertaining. The crowd seemed to enjoy it, too, as there were several comments and questions during the talk, and also afterwards. The only downside was that I didn't realize from the meetup announcement (this was my first Atheist Meetup) that it actually started *before* the 8PM listed starting time. I arrived 10 minutes before 8, and didn't get a chance to eat or socialize until after the presentation was over. I recommend a little more verbosity about the timing in the meetup announcement for us newcomers. ”
    • “ My estimate of the attendance may be off, but it "felt" like 35. Good meeting! ”
    • “ Very enjoyable presentation tonight. I enjoyed hearing about the origins of the monster stories--especially the vampires. I never knew where that tale came from. ”
    • “ This was my second meetup, first speaker. While I didn't exactly learn anything new, it was a lot of fun and I had a great time. ”
