Program Details
Step into the world of cutting-edge knowledge with "Science in the News," a course tailored for curious minds hungry for insights into the most current research and issues in science and medicine. Each week, our diverse panel of scientists delivers two riveting lectures on two different topics, covering the latest discoveries and their impact on our understanding of the universe, the natural world, and the human body. Recent presentations have covered climate change, personalized medicine, space missions, artificial intelligence, self-driving vehicles, and more.
Our goal is to ensure these subjects are accessible to everyone in attendance, regardless of their background, current knowledge, and comfort with the scientific arena. We aim to have everyone understand and engage in the topics presented. Questions and comments are always encouraged. We welcome all who have a thirst for knowledge.
Harold M. Heft is a retired automotive and defense industry executive whose academic research focused on biopsychology and philosophy of science. He is joined by a panel of physicians and scientists with wide experience and interests.
Fridays from 10:00 a.m.–noon for eight weeks beginning March 1 through April 26 (no class on March 29).
