Each fall, in the odd years, the Wright Lectures on Cosmic Evolution are held in Boston, at the Cahners Auditorium at the Boston Museum of Science. Cosmic evolution is the modern scientific story of who we are and where we've come from. The Wright Science Lectures are free and minimally technical, and will appeal to all intelligent people. They are especially appropriate for high-school teachers and their students. The Wright Science Lectures are hosted by Eric Chaisson, director of the Wright Center at Tufts, who moderates a panel discussion after each pair of talks, inviting active participation from the audience.
Admission is free.
For those of you who could not attend the lectures, please check out our archived video of the events. The Wright Lectures are cosponsored by the Boston Museum of Science and the Fondation H. Dudley Wright of Geneva, Switzerland.
