So excited to be hosting @AlvareHelen@MundeleinSem tonight and tomorrow for our #CardinalAlbertMeyerLecture series. Tonight's talk: "The Relation of Family Structure to Poverty, Wealth, and Race Gaps" 7pm open to public or livestream https://t.co/iGAoGE42j3
Our seminarians appreciated the invigorating and challenging small group discussions after the "What Makes Us Human?" lecture, with a wide variety of faith and science-based topics. Thank you to @Rob_O_Malley and @AAAS_DoSER for the lecture. https://t.co/Y2toQGefon #sci4sem
We're excited to be hosting @Rob_O_Malley as he kicks off our inaugural "Science at the Seminary" symposium! Join us at the @MundeleinSem auditorium at 9am 3/9/19. Admission is free!
Attended 20 science talks all weekend. Heard researchers use the expression "holy grail" at least 4 times (describing everything from quantum gravity to gender equality in STEM fields). Who says science and faith can't speak each other's language? @AAAS_DoSER#sci4sem
Excellent session on Quantum Information surfaced practical applications of the fact that QM *is* the reality we live: "nature isn't classical, dammit!" (Feynman). Theologians better learn to deal with very different constructs for space & time. @AAAS_DoSER#sci4sem
Dr Fabiola Gianotti @CERN noted that scientists from warring nations often research peacefully together. Perhaps b/c they are pursuing truths beyond themselves. That's why "religious wars" generally have nothing to do with the true pursuits of religion. @AAAS_DoSER#sci4sem
Great session on science comm: tell one thing people know and recognize, then take them to places they've never been. Perfect advice for homilists. @AAAS_DoSER#aaasmtg#sci4sem#scicomm
Global Neuroscience - M.Hausser reporting on development of shared methodologies and data analysis for int'l brain research. Need global collab for seminary pedagogy. https://t.co/NQYoe97U60. @AAAS_DoSER#aaasmtg#sci4sem
Quantum Entanglement through the heavens: AAAS "Science Paper of the Year" award https://t.co/hOso8Z0C0y [Psst - this is my version of Psalm 8:3] No matter what you think about God, you have to be amazed by this! @AAAS_DoSER#AAASmtg#sci4sem
From AAAS Pres Margaret Hamburg: a fast-changing world has spurred fast-changing responses from science community. Lesson for us in the Church: "quickly" need not mean "rashly". There will always be risks. @AAAS_DoSER#AAASmtg#sci4sem
