If you would like to sign up for Science in Society announcements, please click HERE. The Leonardo will NEVER give your contact information to outside parties and will only send emails with additional information about upcoming Science in Society dialogs.
Science in Society is a public dialog series, held five to six times per year, on a wide range of topics in science, technology, and medicine. Co-sponsored by KCPW and by the City Library, participants engage in a genuine dialog with panelists representing different aspects of the subject. The goal is a real dialog – not lectures.
The Public Dialogs for 2007-08 were be focused on CHOICE-- and related to risk, chance, luck, etc.
 Each Science in
Society discussion is recorded and uploaded to our website. We also
present some interviews recorded by our local public radio station
KCPW. You can

Science without Walls: Science in YOUR World is a general science television course, airing every semester on Channel 9, Utah Education Network TV channel.
The major objective of “Science Without Walls” is to provide you, the viewer, with a basic scientific literacy. The goal is not to turn you into a test-tube wielding scientist nor to teach you complicated physics but to help you understand the basic concepts and themes which underlie our natural world and to provide you with the background and confidence to become involved in the scientific and technological issues important to your nation, state, community, and family.
