Conway Chair Conversations

Linked InPrintEmail

Conway Chair Conversations will engage us in lively discussions and demonstrations about developing scientific ideas, i.e., how this is done, issues that confront idea development, choices made about design and methods. This series of research discussions will focus on the evolution of three ideas. Each month, our featured scholars will share progress about their respective development of an idea. Attendees can respond to the ideas and influence their development. Additionally during each monthly conversation, one social or political force that can influence science will be discussed.

This series takes place on the first Wednesday of every month from 11:30-12:20 (except July).
