enhance film and scientific literacy. Throughout the academic year, our
Grant allows us to creatively pair screenings of classic, cult, science fiction, and
documentary films with lively presentations by experts from the world of
science and technology. Each film is used as a jumping-off point for a
speaker to introduce current research or technological advances. |
