SUMMARY:Public Lecture and Reception on May 6\, 2025\, in Newark\, DE.
DESCRIPTION:The Delaware Chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists (SCS) is sponsoring a free Public Lecture at 7:00pm on Tuesday\, May 6\, 2025\, at the St. Thomas More Oratory (45 Lovett Ave.\, Newark\, DE) near the UD campus. The talk will be followed by a reception with refreshments downstairs. The title is “Jesuit Science after Galileo.”  The speaker\, Prof. Lawrence Principe of Johns Hopkins University\, is an eminent historian of science.  Prof. Principe has won many awards in his field\, as well as receiving the 2021 St. Albert Award from the SCS\, and an Alumni Achievement Award from UD in 2014. \nIf you have questions contact smpbarr@gmail.com \nMore about the talk: \nMany people know that Jesuit priests have engaged in scientific research\, but the full extent of the Jesuits’ devotion to science and their contributions to it\, especially in the 16th through 18th centuries\, is not always fully appreciated\, though it is a history full of fascinating stories.  And despite the persistent notion that the sentencing of Galileo put an end to science in Italy and other Catholic countries for a period of time\, this talk will show how science continued to flourish in those countries\, with Jesuits playing a leading role. \nMore about the speaker: \nLawrence M. Principe received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Indiana University and his Ph.D. in the History of Science from Johns Hopkins University.  He is the Drew Professor of the Humanities at Johns Hopkins University and Professor in both the Department of History of Science and Technology and the Department of Chemistry there. He is also Director of the Charles Singleton Center for the Study of Premodern Europe.  He has written or edited eleven books and published numerous scholarly papers. His main studies concern the early history of chemistry\, and he is recognized as one of the foremost experts on the history of alchemy. He was the first recipient of the Francis Bacon Medal by the California Institute of Technology for significant contributions to the history of science.  His book Alchemy Tried in the Fire: Starkey\, Boyle\, and the Fate of Helmontian Chymistry was awarded the Pfizer Award by the History of Science Society in 2005. In 2016\, he received the Franklin-Lavoisier Prize in Paris from the Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie and the Chemical Heritage Foundation. \nProf. Principe has written and lectured widely on the historical relationship between science and religion.  No one has done more to dispel the widely held myth of perennial science-religion warfare.  Of particular note is his 12-lecture audio course entitled “Science and Religion”\, which he recorded for The Great Courses series of the Teaching Company in 2006.  These lectures treat their subject with the comprehensiveness\, depth\, balance and accuracy\, while being broadly accessible\, lucid\, and entertaining.

SUMMARY:Lecture on April 9\, 2024\, at Purdue University in West Lafayette\, IN.
DESCRIPTION:There will be a Lecture on Tuesday\, April 9\, at 6:30pm in Room 3-410\, Lilly Hall of Life Sciences on the campus of Purdue University (915 Mitch Daniels Blvd\, West Lafayette\, IN 47907). \nThe lecture\, entitled “Philosophy as an Antidote to Scientism\,” will be given by Prof. James McClure of the Purdue Department of Mathematics. \nThe lecture is part of the Spring 2024 Christianity and Science Series and is co-sponsored by the Purdue Chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists and the Purdue chapters of the American Scientific Affiliation and Intervarsity Fellowship. \nAbstract of talk: \nScientism is the belief that science is the only truth. It involves a number of related beliefs that are antithetical to Christianity: that human beings are just collections of atoms organized by the evolutionary process; that morality is just a product of evolution and has no other foundation; and that our conscious experience is an illusion\, and the only true knowledge of the world is given by science. Especially in settings where scientism is rampant it can be helpful to Christian believers to realize that\, in fact\, these are not scientific statements\, and that they cannot be proved\, or even tested\, by scientific methods. Philosophy gives us tools for thinking about statements like these in a systematic way\, taking all the evidence into account. In particular\, it can help us think carefully about situations where Christian teaching conflicts\, or seems to conflict\, with scientific statements. It is a powerful antidote against scientism that illuminates its logical inadequacies and exposes its overreach. Prof. McClure specializes in algebraic topology and is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He has a lifelong interest in Philosophy and is in the Purdue Book of Great Teachers.

SUMMARY:Lecture (in-person and Zoom) and Reception on November 30 in Edmonton\, AB.
DESCRIPTION:The St. Joseph’s College Lecture\, co-sponsored by the Edmonton Chapter of SCS will be held at 4:00pm local time (CT+ ) on Thursday\, Nov 30\, in St. Joseph’s College Boardroom on the campus of the University of Alberta.  The lecture\, entitled “Toward an Integrative Account of the Human Person”\, will be given by Dr. Sofia Carozza.  Dr. Carozza is a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School. She uses computational modelling to study the role of the early environment in the development of the human brain. \nA reception will follow the lecture. \nTo register to attend by Zoom go to https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtf-Chpz0rHNLk8_GNKv9d0KQrv35LYkTy#/registration \nAbstract of Lecture: \nDiscourse at the intersection of neuroscience and religion often stalls at questions about their compatibility\, likely due to the prevalence of the (false) conflict model of science and faith. However\, moving beyond compatibility to integration opens an enriching expanse of inquiry. Specifically\, discoveries in the neural and cognitive sciences are increasingly characterizing the brain as a situated\, relational\, and dynamic organ. These data\, which accord exceptionally well with a Christian theological anthropology\, offer us the possibility of deepening our self-understanding as persons and improving our practical and pastoral decision-making.
