TALKS FOR 2008-09
The
Klopsteg seminar series in
SCIENCE IN HUMAN CULTURE

two cultures. The seminar generally meets on Fridays at noon to
hear speakers discuss science, medicine, and technology in their
social, philosophical, or historical context. We send out regular
bulletins to remind our audience of up-coming talks. If you wish
to be added to our electronic mailing list, please contact Natasha Dennison, n-dennison@northwestern.edu.
