DESCRIPTION

Join physician, former NIH director, and New York Times bestselling author Francis S. Collins ("The Language of God") in conversation with Dr. Selwyn Vickers, President of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, as they discuss the divisions tearing society apart and Collins' new book, "The Road to Wisdom".

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed deep societal fractures, including partisanship and distrust of public health. Yet Collins, a thoughtful observer and advocate for rational thought and everyday grace, believes it doesn't have to be this way. Drawing on his groundbreaking work leading the Human Genome Project, as well as insights from ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, he offers a path forward. Accessible and profound, "The Road to Wisdom" provides the moral, philosophical, and scientific tools needed to heal our societal rifts. Don't miss this compelling discussion on the wisdom and effort required to overcome our divisions.
