The application of new biological understanding has led to big changes in the way we produce our food, treat our illnesses, and even produce our energy. Genetic engineering and stem cell work have expanded dramatically in the last few years. Ethical concerns lead to emotional discussions. The potential benefits for everyone drive the research forward. As we learn more about each of these areas, we have a better foundation for understanding the headlines.”

Almost every Sunday, HGP members gather in Portland, Oregon, for a program which is free and open to the public. With the invited presenters' permissions, we record those talks for our members, and with further permission, make them available here. Hovering over a thumbnail below shows its full title and [date] of that program, and clicking it brings it to the top window to view its "Description" and/or video. Most programs start with a very short reading chosen by a member.

See portlandhumanists.org for more info about HGP and our programs. Members also get access to videos not authorized for public release, as well as the HGP library and member-oriented events.

Video credits: For most videos, camera is done by Mike Birtchet, audio is done by Bill Maiden, and final editing was done by Dave DiNucci and is currently done by Laurent Beauregard. None of these videos would be possible without the excellent work of the HGP Program Committee to schedule speakers and to carry out the programs, or without the contributed time and effort of the speakers themselves.
