TODAY!<br><br>
A special event for MIT students<br><br>
</i>WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2004<br>
6:00-9:00 p.m.<br><br>
A CONVERSATION AMONG FUTURE SCIENTISTS on<br>
SCIENCE IN AN AGE OF TERRORISM<br>
________________<br><br>
</b>A panel of MIT faculty and students will pose some of the toughest
questions facing scientists in the new century:<br><br>
----Can scientists do anything to limit the spread of dangerous
technologies? If so, can they do so and keep science free and open?
If not, what are the implications?<br><br>
----Is there a universal "culture of science" when it comes to
these questions? Are there different regional or cultural
approaches?<br>
<b>________________<br><br>
</b>This event is not a lecture. It is an opportunity for MIT
students of all backgrounds to engage with these questions, and with each
other. Brief presentations will be made by<b> Professor Rosalind
Williams</b>, Director of the Program in Science, Technology and
Society;<b> Political Science Professor Stephen Van Evera</b>, Associate
Director of MIT's Center for International Studies; and three MIT
students:<b> Gregory Koblentz</b>, a May 2004 Ph.D. candidate in
Political Science and an expert on biowarfare;<b> Alexander (Sandy)
Brown</b>, a Ph.D. candidate in the history of technology from New
Zealand; and<b> Julien Bachmann</b>, a student from Switzerland who is
studying inorganic chemistry. Audience members will have time to
offer their input, and the conversation will continue over
refreshments.<br><br>
Although the topic is a serious one, the tone will be congenial. This
event has been organized by the CIS Starr Forum and the International
Students Office as the result of a generous grant to the ISO by the
Kailath International Student Fund. The aim is to foster a sense of
global citizenship among MIT's diverse student body in the aftermath of
9/11. We look forward to seeing you.<br>
