About the event

Nat Talk: Why Does Science Matter
Science touches everything—from the medicines we take to the ethical questions we face.

Join us for a lively discussion with leading scientists and thinkers who are shaping how we understand our world. In partnership with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, we're bringing together experts from science, philosophy, and public policy to talk about why science matters in our daily lives and our future.

Our panel includes:
-Dr. Rommie Amaro, working at the intersection of chemistry, biology, physics, and drug development
-Dr. Patricia Churchland, philosopher exploring the mind, morality, and neuroethics
-Dr. J. Craig Venter, a trailblazer in genomics and longevity

Dr. Peter Cowhey will guide the conversation through big scientific ideas, ethical questions, and real-world impact. This isn't just a lecture—we want to hear from you. Bring your questions and curiosity.

Tickets are $12 for members, $15 for non-members. Theater doors open at 6:30 PM.
