engaging.
The Institute for the Science of Origins is excited to sponsor the Origins Science Scholars Program for the general public at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
During this unique program, members of the community engage with each other and with leading scholars of the origins sciences to investigate everything from the big bang to the developing mind and emerging life. Each evening begins with a presentation by a world-class researcher, followed by dinner and open discussion among all the participants. Click here to see videos of past OSS lectures!

This Spring's seven-week program addresses dark matter, the origin and evolution of the ethical and creative aspects of the human mind, particle accelerator experiments at CERN, and coevolution of human gut microflora and the impact on cardiovascular health.
Time: Wednesday evenings from 6-8 p.m.
Dates: March 27, 2013 through May 8, 2013. Dinner will follow each session.
Locations: All 7 sessions will be held on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, in Goodyear Auditorium and Hovorka Atrium, in the Pytte Science Center, 2100 Adelbert Rd.
We are excited to share unique and challenging perspectives and hope to leave participants better educated about origins research and the Institute for the Science of Origins. We look forward to seeing you!
