For those planning to attend the AAAS panel on “Communicating Science in a Religious America,” I just received notice that it is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 17 at 145pm. It’s programmed as a 180 minute symposium with six panelists and then lots of time for comments from the moderator and audience. It promises to be a great dialogue around themes of immense interest to conference attendees!
