The Great Courses: Scientific Ideas That Changed The World

Thursdays, 10:00am, beginning May 4
This spring, we will offer viewings of the “Great Courses” series, Great Scientific Ideas That Changed the World. Join us each week for a group viewing of two 30 minute lectures followed by a brief discussion (led by volunteer Dave). In this course, we will explore scientific ideas that have played a formative role in determining the infrastructure of modern life. We will learn how the inventions of writing, printing, and computers affected the development of science and technology; how the Atomic theory of matter, the Cell theory of life, the Germ theory of disease, and the Gene theory of inheritance have altered society and shaped our daily lives. You can attend as many (or as few) lectures as you’d like. A $2 donation per person per class is appreciated.
