The Two Cultures in the 21st Century:

A full-day symposium sponsored by: Science & the City, ScienceDebate2008, Science Communication Consortium

At the 50th anniversary of C.P. Snow's famous Rede Lecture on the importance to society of building a bridge between the sciences and humanities, this day-long symposium brings together leading scholars, scientists, politicians, authors, and representatives of the media to explore the persistence of the Two Cultures gap and how it can be overcome. More than 20 speakers will cover topics including science in politics, education, film and media, and science citizenship.

Exciting schedule and list of speakers/panelists!
