Thank you to those who joined us for the successful 2009 series! Check back in the spring to see what's in store for 2010. These lectures are free to the public and they take place in a beautiful setting on the lawn of the Cantor Arts Center four Thursday evenings in July and August. Come enjoy a picnic and hear Stanford’s top scientists talk about their research in terms you will understand.
Please join us this Fall for the continuation of a series inaugurated last year honoring the lives and accomplishments of the University’s most celebrated scientists—faculty members who have been awarded Nobel Prizes, National Medals of Science or Technology, and MacArthur Fellowships.
