During this presentation, Jonathan I. Lunine will profile Lemaître’s life, move on to briefly highlight a few of today’s Catholic scientists, and finally address the question of whether “the Believing Scientist” (to quote the title of a recent book by Stephen Barr), is a dying breed.
Jonathan I. Lunine, the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences at Cornell University and Director of the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science, is also is the David Baltimore Distinguished Visiting Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
