UPDATE: EarthBeat radio producer and all-around awesome person, Aries Keck, will host!
The second entry in the Chemical Heritage Foundation’s Molecules that Matter lecture series is happening October 7th. This time, the speaker is Eric Roston and the topic is “The Beauty of Science and the Science of Beauty.”
Eric Roston is a senior associate in the Washington, D.C., office of the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University. Roston’s recent book, The Carbon Age: How Life’s Core Element Has Become Civilization’s Greatest Threat, examines the science of carbon and its seminal impact on human life. Previously he covered science, technology, and business for Time, Life, and Slate.com.
Roston holds an M.A. in Russian history and a B.A. in modern European history, both from Columbia University. He is a member of the National Association of Science Writers and the Society of Environmental Journalists.
Admission is $15, free for students. Doors open at 5pm, the lecture is at 6pm and the reception is at 7pm. So, chances are that you’ll get fed at the reception, which might alone be worth $15. I’m watching out for you during these hard times.
You must register first. The Chemical Heritage Foundation is at 315 Chestnut street (directions), so it would be nice to take a ghost tour afterward in Old City. Not that I espouse the paranormal, its just fun to get out for the night.
