Thank you to those who joined us for the successful 2009 series! Check back in the spring to see the lectures planned 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.
