New Speakers Join Science + Society conference

We are pleased to announce that several new conference participants have been added to the agenda since the conference website was first posted.

Timothy Ferris Timothy Ferris's eleven books include Seeing in the Dark, The Whole Shebang, and Coming of Age in the Milky Way, which have been translated into fifteen languages and were named by The New York Times as among the leading books published in the twentieth century.

Larry Klein Larry Klein has produced scores of programs for commercial, cable and public broadcasting for the past twenty-five years. His most significant work has been for PBS, especially those programs and series produced in conjunction with the WGBH Science Unit and NOVA.

*Due to competing commitments, Robert Krulwich and Neal Baer will not be speaking at the conference.

More complete biographies can be found on the Speakers page of this website.

We will highlight additional participants in this space as they are identified, so check regularly for updates.
