Welcome to PFC's Lecture Night!

This month, we're welcoming Ethan Dodge. A cofounder of MormonLeaks, FaithLeaks, and The Truth and Transparency Foundation, Ethan promotes transparency within religions and exposes corruption within churches. With work featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, The Independent, and many other news outlets, Ethan will share with us the mission, objectives, process, successes, adventures and vision for the future.

Bio:
Born and raised in Utah, Ethan considers himself a Secular Mormon passionate about truth. A cyber security engineer by trade, he currently oversees all technical operations of TTF (The Truth and Transparency Foundation), its projects, and has worked on MormonLeaks since nearly the beginning originally assuming the identity of Privacy P. Pratt. He believes strongly that greater empathy and understanding can be achieved through listening to and sharing lived experiences. As such, he is the producer and author of the My Mormon Experience podcast where he details his Mormon upbringing. He has a Bachelor's degree in information technology from Utah Valley University and blogs at egd.io.

Each month (with the exception of August and December) we feature a presentation/lecture on a variety of topics. Our primary focus is on science, but we also have talks on skepticism and humanism and beyond. We try to structure the meetings to begin with a presentation that leaves time for great discussions and Q&A sessions afterward. We try to post the topic and speaker bio as soon as that information is known -- please check back soon. If you have speaker suggestions and/or ideas that are in keeping with our mission, please feel free to email your suggestions to lizzyv@pittsburghfreethoughtcommunity.com.

See you there!

P.S. We usually head to Ali Baba's on nearby Craig Street at 5:30 p.m. for a pre-lecture or pre-movie dinner. Please leave a comment below if you are coming to dinner so we can include you in the reservation. Thanks!
