Beyond the Breakthrough
Sunday, July 12, 11am, in person and on Zoom
Beth Moscato
Stop me if you’ve seen this one on Facebook: an impoverished teenager discovers an engineering breakthrough that will change the world.
In reality, most scientific breakthroughs are conducted by teams of highly trained experts, usually working for well-funded agencies or corporations with the resources needed to fund the R&D. Most discoveries are produced by for-profit companies. How can we balance hope for a better future with the realities of scientific research?

To Save or Savor?
161 years ago, 2.5 years after the emancipation proclamation, the final group of enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, heard the news of their freedom – the first Juneteenth. And this Sunday, we celebrate the Summer Solstice and Father’s Day as well. In a beautiful world with so much injustice, how do we decide whether to “save or savor the world?”
