Frontiers in Science
Welcome to the 2020 season of our public lecture series, “Frontiers in Science.” As the Dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, it gives me tremendous pleasure to invite you to explore the sciences with us. We have experts this season from a range of scientific disciplines who are coming to FAU to speak about: artificial intelligence, the geology of glaciers, the biology of extreme movement, how mathematical modeling is changing the world, understanding the Big Bang, a look inside nanomachines, and more. We’ve brought them to you from across the globe and from right here in our own community.
My hope is that these lectures move you to deeper learning, explain your world, ignite your discussions, and bring the richness of the sciences to you.
Keep your eye out for our "pop-up" talks later in the spring that we will add to the Frontiers' schedule.
I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and sharing my vision for the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science at Florida Atlantic University. It is never far from my mind that, without your help, we would not have the confidence to plan boldly for our student’s future or to continue the race to scientific excellence and discovery.
Join me as we begin a new exploration of the sciences together!
