Future Seminars
In the past six months, DoSER has held a number of public seminars
and receptions highlighting significant work in the field of Science
and Religion. Topics have ranged from Inheritable Genetic
Modifications to Artificial Intelligence. In each seminar, the
keynote speaker's presentations have been followed by responses from
one or more scholars (scientists, ethicists, or theologians) familiar
with the topic. Ample time has also been provided for the speakers to
address comments and questions from audience members. DoSER will
continue these seminars in the Fall following a similar format with
