When, oh When, will the NCSE finally hold the fundraiser I've been dreaming of!

"Win a Date with Eugenie Scott1"

[iamgoddard]

Scientists having fun?! But will it pass peer review. ; )

[cmsalvagio]

Is that water cold?



[NatCen4ScienceEd]

@cmsalvagio the LCR water is bathtub warm. the larger Colorado River, not so much (a chilly ~60 degrees, with the air temp >100).

Couple of those rock bangs did look painful! Very cool!

looks like fun

There's got to be some pretty good comradery at the NCSE if you guys are taking a vacation, getting away from work, but not away from your coworkers. Must be a great bunch of people to work with.

[NatCen4ScienceEd]

@luccaskunk this is true, but most of the attendees at our annual NCSE Grand Canyon trip are members and supporters wishing to spend time with Genie discussing creationism/evolution, while touring the magnificent Grand Canyon

[Im4science]

I am sooo jealous!

[JoesephKatana]

You forgot your raft.

[NatCen4ScienceEd]

@JoesephKatana This is old-skool lifejacket river runnin', before all them fancy boats and such :)

As long as there is enough water so you dont smash your ass on the rocks all the time.

[NatCen4ScienceEd]

@bary1234 In some of the shots you can see the "inverted lifejacket" position designed to avoid just such problems :)

Did this in the Grand Canyon, so fun! You guys look like you had a blast! :D

[NatCen4ScienceEd]

@lostismyconstent NCSE does a Grand Canyon trip every July! Stay tuned to our website for details on the next one

[PixelSlayer247]

damn, this makes me want to get outside in the water, and that's something in itself. looks like a blast, wish I could get there~!

[sleazybtd]

Rafting? I don't see no stinking raft!

Regardless, that looks fun. Maybe next year for me.

[VoidedMirror]

Was that Eugenie in the front?

[NatCen4ScienceEd]

@VoidedMirror Yes, indeed, in one of the "chains"

[Essa0601]
