This lecture series invites the campus community to join us as we explore the relationships between the arts and sciences through a dedicated annual theme. Our three college departments — Math and Computer Science; Humanities, Social Sciences, and Communication; and Natural Sciences — invite internal and external speakers to help us discover links between each other’s disciplines through seminars, lectures, and roundtable discussions.
Each event is free and open to the public. Pizza will be served at 12:15 prior to the event.
Through a diverse series of events hosted by our three departments, we invite the campus community to join us as we explore the relationship between experimentation and curiosity in the many senses of each term. How does experimentation fuel curiosity? How does curiosity lead to new experimental methods and approaches? How do researchers take their curiosity and transform it into tangible experiments that yield knowledge? How does experimentation and curiosity vary across disciplines? How does experimental curiosity change the way we approach our personal and professional development? Does it make us bolder in our quest to satisfy the unknown?
In Humanities, Social Sciences, and Communication, we explore what makes us uniquely human. Through ancient and modern texts, social norms, and communication, we uncover how these fields are essential to all careers and human endeavors.
In a world of programming, proofs, and unending figures and unfeeling facts, is there room for a touch of magic? Data drives discovery, innovation redefines intelligence, and when curiosity meets logic, mathematics can be miraculous.
Curiosity drives discovery in biology, chemistry, and physics, guiding us from molecular interactions to chemical reactions and the fundamental laws of nature. Explore what makes you curious.
