The goal of the World Science Festival is to help shift the public's perception of science so that more and more people see science as wondrous, exciting, accessible, and even inspirational.
Description:
The World Science Festival will allow science enthusiasts to engage many topics in modern science, while also encouraging those who may be on the periphery of science - artists, students, children, families, policy-makers, and educators - to think about the many ways scientific inquiry impacts their lives. The Festival brings together Nobel Laureates, researchers, technologists, educators, policy-makers, with creative artists, filmmakers, and performers. Together through lectures, panels, debates, film, music, theater, and interactive events, the Festival will showcase cutting edge ideas and reveal science's pivotal role in addressing critical global issues. Participants will guide the audience to experience science as never before.
History:
The World Science Festival was co-founded by Brian Greene and Tracy Day. Brian Greene is a Columbia Professor of physics and mathematics and the host of the PBS series The Elegant Universe. Tracy Day is a four-time National News Emmy Award winning journalist and producer whose credits include Nightline and This Week with David Brinkley.
