    Next: Science That Transforms

    Time & Date: Jan 27, Feb 3, Feb 10, Feb 17, March 3, March 10
    In the near future, several large-scale research projects now underway in astronomy, physics, biology, cybernetics and medicine have the potential to reshape our understanding of the universe and ourselves. Join the UA College of Science as they provide, in a six lecture series, a first-hand look forward into the workings of these far-reaching research programs and the diverse outcomes they each may offer. Six scientists will intimately describe their world-class explorations into deep space, particle physics, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, and the hidden workings of the human brain. Their insights and observations will provide a front-row seat to the epic scientific discoveries that the world may be making next. All lectures are at Centennial Hall on the UA campus and begin at 7 pm. They are free to the public.
