Science in Society is a public dialog series, held five or 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 2008-09 will be focused on
Life—natural and less-natural: Choices
