Each fall, in the odd years, the Wright Lectures on Cosmic Evolution are held in Boston, at the Cahners Auditorium at the Boston Museum of Science. In this series of four evening presentations that follow the "arrow of time," a diverse spectrum of leading scientists explore the many varied changes that have led to our universe, our galaxy, our planet, and ourselves. Cosmic evolution is the modern scientific story of who we are and where we've come from.
The Wright Science Lectures are free and minimally technical, and will appeal to all intelligent people. They are especially appropriate for high-school teachers and their students. The intent is to involve the audience in a dialogue with the speakers and panelists each evening, thereby challenging the experts on the interpretation of their subjects--which span astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology, biology, and anthropology, among others.
The Wright Science Lectures are hosted by Eric Chaisson, director of the Wright Center at Tufts, who moderates a panel discussion after each pair of talks, inviting active participation from the audience. The program runs from 7-9pm; doors open at 6:30pm. Admission is free.
