Scientific Literacy/Scientific Frontiers

There is widespread concern on the part of scientists, educators at all levels, industrialists, politicians and the media, of how a greater measure of scientific literacy can be obtained. One goal of this seminar is to learn how scientific literacy can help society understand the work that is being done at the frontiers of science. Another goal is to obtain information from various institutions and organizations about the methods that are being offered to increase the level of scientific literacy of our society, and what are the frontiers of science. Invited speakers will include pre-college and college educators, scientists from professional, educational and scientific institutions and organizations, industrialists, appointed and elected officials, authors, and media representatives.
