First half: Serving 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Reserves, Dr. Joanne Conaway was an Aeromedical Evacuation Nurse and in-flight Medical Crew Director. Now a practicing naturopath physician Dr. Conaway left mainstream medicine, rejecting the conventional approach of treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals. She will discuss what she believes are more effective methods of restoring health, and primarily how a healthy gut and microbiome promotes normal gastrointestinal function and provides protection from infection, increased absorption, the regulation of our metabolism, and comprises more than 75% of our immune system.

Second half: Laird Scranton is an independent software designer and author. He has written several books on African and Egyptian cosmology and language. He will be discussing his latest research on the striking similarities between the Scottish megalithic site of Skara Brae and the traditions of pre-dynastic ancient Egypt as preserved by the Dogon people of Mali. He will also examine the similarities between Skara Brae and Gobekli Tepe and how Skara Brae may have been a secondary center of learning for the ancient world.
