Dr. Marilyn Roossinck, coordinator and initiator of the Explorations in Science series, visits with program attendees.
Explorations in Science (formerly Public Lectures in Science), sponsored by the Noble Foundation, is a series that presents science to the general public in an understandable and approachable format. This series provides a forum for the public to interact and discuss science and technology – including its greater influences and impacts – with scientists, researchers and speakers from the Noble Foundation and other institutions. This educational series began in 2002.
Unless indicated otherwise, all lectures begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Ardmore Convention Center.
