SUMMARY:Public Lecture on Dec 13\, 2024\, in Toronto\, ON\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:There will be a Public Lecture at 7:00pm on Friday\, Dec 13\, in Toronto\, Canada\, at a Downtown location to be announced. \nThe speaker will Dr. Sonsoles de la Calle\, and the title of her talk will be “Made for Connection: Neurobiology and Human Interconnectedness.”  This event is sponsored by the Toronto Chapter of SCS\, \nAbstract: \nWhat is human nature\, and how do we come to understand it through reason\, science\, philosophy\, and faith? Personalistic philosophies\, such as those proposed by K. Wojtyla (Pope St. John Paul II) and D. Von Hildebrand\, describe the human as a person with bodily\, psychic and spiritual dimensions tightly intertwined\, so much so that it is impossible not to see the impact of each dimension in the manifestations of the others. This integrative view of the person is particularly well suited as a base for its relationality\, its interaction with the world and with other persons.  Where the philosophical discourse may arrive to the theoretical explanation of relationality\, neuroscience illuminates with empirical data in what way bodily reality contributes to human relationality\, highlighting from a biological perspective how this basic need for connectedness is essential to health and human flourishing. In fact\, I propose that hardwired neural mechanisms\, that is\, biologically primed and discernible in the basic structure and systems of the brain— support attachment behavior\, relationality and connectedness\, and will present evidence of how this is expressed particularly well (and intensely) in marriage. \nBiography of the Speaker:  \nSonsoles de Lacalle obtained her M.D./Ph.D. from the University of Navarra (Spain). In 1990 she moved to the US with a Fulbright Fellowship to train with Prof. Clif B. Saper in the Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Sciences at the University of Chicago. Her academic experience includes teaching and research in a medical setting (at the Pritzker School of Medicine\, Harvard Medical School\, and at Ohio University’s College of Medicine) and in predominantly undergraduate institutions (CSU Los Angeles\, C. R. Drew University and currently at CSU Channel Islands).

SUMMARY:Lecture on January 22\, 2025\, at Rowan University in Glassboro\, NJ.
DESCRIPTION:There will be a free Public Lecture at 7:00pm on Wednesday\, January 22\, in the Eynon Ballroom (Chamberlain Student Center) of Rowan University (201 Mullica Hill Rd\, Glassboro\, NJ 08028).  The speaker will be Prof. Stephen M. Barr\, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Delaware and President of the Society of Catholic Scientists.  The title of the talk will be “Science and Religion: the myth of conflict.”  The talk is hosted by the Catholic Campus Ministry of Rowan University. \nAbstract of the talk: \nAbstract: Prof. Barr will argue that the supposed conflict between science and religion has really been a conflict between “scientific materialism” and religion. He will show that the science-versus-religion myth is based on misunderstandings of Christian belief\, an outdated view of scientific history\, and a skewed interpretation of what science has actually discovered about the universe. After clarifying some key theological concepts\, he will tell the story of the relation\nbetween Christianity and science\, including some dramatic facts that are relatively little known. He will then discuss several discoveries of the twentieth century\, primarily in physics\, and argue that they are more in line with the traditional Jewish and Christian view of the cosmos and of human beings than with materialist philosophy.

SUMMARY:Gold Mass and Public Lecture on March 24\, 2025\, in Hillsdale\, MI.
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, March 24\, there will be both a Gold Mass and a Public Lecture in Hillsdale\, MI. \nThe Gold Mass will be at 5:00pm at St. Anthony’s (11 N Broad St\, Hillsdale\, MI 49242). \nThe Public Lecture will be at 8:00pm on the campus of Hillsdale College in Room 124 of Lane Hall (35 E College St\, Hillsdale\, MI 49242). The speaker is Dr. Christopher Lee from Los Alamos National Laboratory nuclear theory division\, and its title is “Symmetry\, Order and Providence in Creation.” \nThese events are sponsored by the Hillsdale Chapter of SCS. \nAbstract of Lecture: It is often thought that modern cosmology and physics are incompatible with the account of creation in Genesis. I will present a personal reflection on what both channels of knowledge (reason/science and divine revelation) teach us about the created universe\, and how they can be read/interpreted in a beautifully compatible way\, and in fact shed light on one another and can deepen our appreciation and understanding of both. Together\, the structured account of Creation in Genesis and the discoveries of modern physics and cosmology reveal to us the action of a Creator who endowed symmetry\, mathematical elegance\, and order upon the universe\, which are signs of His action and His providence and love for His creation. \nBio of Speaker: Christopher Lee is a scientist and deputy group leader of the Nuclear & Particle Physics\, Astrophysics & Cosmology Group in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory\, which he joined in 2012. He grew up in Portland\, Oregon and graduated from Reed College in 2000\, and received his PhD from Caltech in 2005. He did his postdoctoral research at the Institute for Nuclear Theory at University of Washington in Seattle\, at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California\, and at the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics\, before going to LANL. His research has been on the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics describing the strong force binding together protons and won a Department of Energy Early Career Research Award in 2015 for this research. He also has researched the origin of matter in the early universe and the role played by possible new particles beyond the currently known Standard Model of particle physics. He was also the founding President of the New Mexico Chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists from 2019-2024\, of which he remains an active board member.

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 September 4\, 2025\, at Seton Hall University in South Orange\, NJ.
DESCRIPTION:There is a Lecture on Thursday\, September 4\, at 4:00 pm at Seton Hall University in Bethany Hall (400 S Orange Ave\, South Orange Village\, NJ 07079). \nThe speaker is Dr. William E. Carroll\, and the title of the talk is “The Error of Beginnings and the Beginning of Errors: Creation and the Origin of the Universe.” \nodern cosmological theories are often invoked to suggest that belief in God is an artifact from a less enlightened age. Yet most of the discussion about what cosmology tells us about creation suffers from a fundamental error about a necessary connection between a created universe and a temporal beginning. This is an error of beginnings\, which is the beginning of many other errors. It was the genius of the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) to highlight this error and to offer a sophisticated discussion that can help to resolve confusion in contemporary discussions about cosmology\, the origin of the universe and creation. \nWilliam E. Carroll\, Ph.D.\, a European intellectual historian and historian of science\, has recently retired from the Aquinas Institute\, Blackfriars Hall\, University of Oxford. He currently serves as Distinguished Visiting Professor\, School of Philosophy\, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law in China. \nCarroll writes and speaks extensively on the ways in which medieval discussions of the natural sciences\, philosophy and theology can be useful in questions arising from contemporary biology and cosmology. \nSponsored by the SHU Society of Catholic Scientists in collaboration with the Stanly Jaki Academy for Theology and Science\, the Department of Physics\, Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology\, the Center for Catholic Studies\, the Core Curriculum Program\, and the Program in Catholic Studies.

SUMMARY:Gold Mass on Nov 5 and Debate on Nov 7\, 2025\, at University of Mary\, Bismarck\, ND.
DESCRIPTION:There will be a Gold Mass on Wednesday\, Nov 5\, 2025\, at 10:00am in Our Lady of the Annunciation Chapel on the campus of the University of Mary.  The Mass will be celebrated by His Excellency David Kagan\, Bishop of the Diocese of Bismarck. \nThere will also be a public debate among members of the SCS on Friday\, November 7\, 2025\, at 10:00am in Butler Hall on the University of Mary campus. The question for debate will be “Is open science a mistake?” A key ethos of science is publishing results for others to build on. This approach has brought us medical benefits and material prosperity\, and the threat of nuclear\, biological\, and AI annihilation. Is openness a good idea? \nThese events are sponsored by the North Dakota Chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture and Reception on November 6\, 2025\, at Purdue University in West Lafayette\, IN.
DESCRIPTION:There will be a Lecture om Thursday\, November 6\, at 5:30pm in West Lafayette\, IN\, in the lower level St. Thomas Aquinas Church (535 Mitch Daniels Blvd\, West Lafayette\, IN 47906). The lecture will be entitled “From the Lab to the Altar: A Scientist’s Journey of Faith.”  The speaker is Suzanne Bohlson\, professor (Molecular Biology and Biochemistry) at UC Irvine.  \nThe lecture will be preceded by a Reception at 4:30pm.  \nThe Lecture is co-sponsored by the Purdue Chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists along with the American Scientific Affiliation and St. Thomas Aquinas Parish. \nJoin us as Dr. Suzanne Bohlson\, Professor at UC Irvine and President of the Southern California chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists\, shares her journey from irreligious scientist to practicing Catholic. Raised in a family of scientists who lived Gospel values without institutional faith\, Dr. Bohlson discovered her scientific vocation studying HIV/AIDS and the immune system. Her path led from prestigious research labs to the University of Notre Dame\, where she encountered Catholicism for the first time. \nDr. Bohlson will share how her scientific training\, with its emphasis on truth-seeking\, careful observation\, and intellectual humility\, prepared her for faith rather than hindered it. She’ll describe the “perfect storm” of divine providence that surrounded her conversion\, including a priest completing his thesis on the harmony between Genesis and the theory of evolution just as she was joining the Church. With warmth and humor\, she’ll explore how faith has enriched rather than conflicted with her scientific work\, and how the same God she studies in the laboratory is the God she encounters in the Eucharist. This is a story of homecoming\, discovering that the transcendent God she has always known was waiting to be found in the Catholic Church. Whether you’re a scientist\, a person of faith\, or someone asking the big questions about life’s meaning\, Dr. Bohlson’s journey offers hope that faith and reason can walk hand in hand toward truth.
