Please note that this month’s meeting is the third Saturday of the month

Lois Schadewald

Lake Nokomis Community Center
2401 E. Minnehaha Parkway
Minneapolis, MN 55417

Lois Schadewald will discuss Worlds of Their Own, a book written by her late brother, Robert J. Schadewald (1943-2000) that she edited. The book compares genuine science and bogus science discussing alternative beliefs such as flat-earthism, ‘scientific’ creationism, energy scams etc, many of which are based on a literal reading of the Bible. A discussion period will follow the presentation.

She and Robert grew up on a farm near Rogers, MN, along with their sisters Carole, Elaine and Diane. Lois earned a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from St. Cloud State University and a Master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry from Iowa State University at Ames. She currently teaches chemistry at Normandale Community College. Her previous work experience includes Environmental Health Specialist at the University of Minnesota, analytical chemist at the Minnesota Department of Health and at H. B. Fuller.

She spent her 2003-4 sabbatical preparing Worlds of Their Own as a fitting tribute to her late brother.
