We will be meeting in the courtyard to discuss survivorship bias - statistical biases that come into play when someone tries to understand a whole group by only looking at the examples that made it through a winnowing process.

As always, side conversations are allowed and encouraged.

• May 15: Fun & Games
• May 22: Typical Mind Fallacy
• May 29: meeting canceled for Memorial Day
