Alan Alda: Getting Beyond a Blind Date with Science SOLD OUT

Alan Alda discusses why scientists need to communicate engagingly with the publicand how they can get better at telling the fascinating stories of science. In an engaging, personal talk, Alan Alda draws on his wide-ranging experiences as an actor, writer, and longtime advocate for science. As host of PBS' Scientific American Frontiers, he interviewed 700 scientists around the world. Now, as a founding member of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University, he is helping scientists connect more directly with people outside their field – from public officials, funders and the media, to potential collaborators in other disciplines, to friends, family and neighbors.
