Frontiers in Science Public Lecture Series
Welcome to the 2024 Frontiers in Science Public Lecture Series, hosted by the Florida Atlantic University Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, in partnership with the new FAU School of Environmental, Coastal, and Ocean Sustainability (ECOS). This season includes live panel discussions with experts in the sciences and Q&A sessions from the audience. We hope these discussions expand your understanding of the world, inspire deeper learning, and ignite meaningful discussions.
Frontiers in Science has been hosted by the Schmidt College of Science for more than two decades and has become a pillar for communicating and engaging in the sciences within our community. We invite you join us and support the series as we explore the sciences together.
