The Origins Science Scholars Program, presented by the Siegal Lifelong Learning Program and the Institute for the Science of Origins, will present a series of events in which members of the community can engage with leading scholars to investigate rapidly developing areas of origins science.
Each evening begins with a presentation by a world-class researcher, followed by dinner and open discussion. The series will run weekly from April 14-May 26. Each session will begin at 5:30 p.m. with coffee and sign-in; the lecture and Q&A session will be held from 6-7 p.m., followed by dinner with faculty and fellows from 7-8 p.m.
