SESSION 4: Integrating Science and Technology in America’s Artistic and Civic Culture: Seeing Our World Anew


America’s love affair with science may be going through a rocky patch, but it wasn’t always so.  This country was founded by scientist-statesmen like Jefferson and Franklin, and from the launch of Sputnik to the fall of the Soviet Union science was a very big part of our culture.  We were the moon-shot nation, the can-do nation, the A-ok and the right stuff.   Advocates, artists and scientists will help us see new strategies for renewing America’s love affair with science, and the key role science has in shaping our ongoing success as a nation.
