Tuesday, 05 Oct 2004 at 6:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
Lyle H. Schwartz is retired director of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, where he guided the management of the entire basic research investment for the U.S. Air Force. He will examine key issues such as stem cell research, global warming, and federal funding for research and development. He will also discuss growing concerns about the politicization of science policy. (Nobel Laureate Peter Agre will not be able to join us.)
