G4G Weekly Socials
Our weekly Socials are held on Saturday at 1 pm Atlanta time (check the time for you here).
We are using the Zoom Meeting platform here (not Zoom Webinar as we do for our monthly CoM presentations on the 21st). So for these Saturday socials we will all be able to see each other.
Upcoming Sessions:Sat 22 Mar – Dana Richards on “Celebrity Problem Revisited”, “Row and Column Exchanges” and “Pancake Sorting”
Sat 29 Mar – TBAWe welcome theme suggestions for the G4G Weekend Socials. Would you like to lead such a social, perhaps with a fresh look at a favorite Martin Gardner column (or book)? A piece on critical thinking? A miscellaneous theme? Please contact us.All information can be found here.

We’ll also meet in another Zoom Room, where everyone will be able to see each other, right after this presentation.

G4G Tributes
It is with sadness that G4G notes the passing of long time G4G community member Adam Atkinson on Dec 8, 2024.
We continue to update and maintain multiple tribute pages. In this we hope to honour and remember the many who have made the G4G community the remarkable group it is. As well as to inspire and connect those who build on the shoulders of these giants. We welcome and encourage any contribution to these tributes. To share your memories or anecdotes, please email us, support@g4gfoundation.org
