     A Scientist Addresses Science Education

     Nobel Laureate physicist Leon Lederman takes a hard look at science education. The crisis in science education (pre-K--14) has been widely recognized at least since the report "A Nation at Risk" was published in 1983. This report accompanies a huge number of later reports all read and appreciated but never implemented. There is good reason for new optimism, but the persistent failure to implement the well understood cures must be understood before we can capitalize on the accumulating wisdom.

     Taking the Universe’s Baby Picture: An Evening with Professor David Spergel

     Cosmology is in a golden age with advances in technology enabling us to probe the physics of the very early universe. Princeton's David Spergel explains that observations of the microwave background are snapshots of the Universe only three hundred thousand years after the Big Bang. These observations have answered many of the questions that have driven cosmology for the past few decades - but many remain unanswered. Find out what we know and what we hope to learn.
