In 1727, Benjamin Franklin organized a group of friends to create a club for mutual improvement. Inspired by Franklin's Junto club, we are following in the tradition, and look to discuss topics around science, philosophy, politics, business, and anything else that might be of interest, in an effort to better understand ourselves and the world.
