Please join us this Fall for 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.
Each evening will be introduced by a distinguished colleague of the prizewinner who will put the scientist’s accomplishments in context. Then the prizewinner will be joined by interviewer Paul Costello, for a wide-ranging conversation about the honoree’s achievements, and the impact they have had on the honoree’s field and on the world in which we live.
This is your chance to engage with some of the most consequential thinkers of our day—people who have helped shape the scientific, technological, and economic fabric of the modern world. We are excited to recognize the honorees of the 2009–10 inaugural series. The Stanford Pioneers in Science Series for the 2009-2010 year is sponsored by Stanford’s Continuing Studies Program and by the Stanford Historical Society.
Free, open to the public, at Cubberley Auditorium, School of Education
