Evolution
THE EVOLUTION OF EVOLUTION:
ARE WE THE MASTERS OF OUR FATE?

Thursday, June 1 at 8:00 PM; NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts
It’s a profound question facing modern humans: Are we still subject to natural selection? After hundreds of years of scientific progress, many of the pressures that control evolution—predators and disease—are decreasing. At the same time, technology capable of engineering the genome is in our hands. Renowned geneticists, paleoanthropologists, and biologists consider our genetic future as evolution evolves.

Hidden Heroines
HIDDEN FIGURES NO MORE!
HEROINES OF SPACE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

Friday, June 2 at 8:00 PM; Grand Hall at NYU
Hidden Figures revealed hidden heroines in the history of space science. Through their curiosity, tenacity, and courage, they helped solve the mysteries of planets, stars, galaxies, and beyond. Join this exciting conversation with scientists, astronauts, and other luminaries who broke down barriers in a male-dominated discipline, as they reflect on the many pivotal but unsung figures of space science. Learn More.
Science Under Siege
I'M RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG:
SCIENCE IN A POLARIZED WORLD

Saturday, June 3 at 8:00 PM; NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts
Our age is marked by the proliferation of information, and yet we can’t agree. Science is supposed to be neutral, and yet it has generated some of the deepest societal divides. Join a vibrant and important discussion examining the interface between the scientific process and the sometimes unscientific public, as we hurtle headlong into an uncertain future. Learn More.
