The Daily Bruin

All are invited to the university’s annual Dalton Lecture at 7:30 p.m. tonight (Monday) in Bauman Auditorium.

This year’s lecture, “Two Degrees of Separation: Climate Change and the Pursuit of Truth in a Post-truth World,” will be presented by Richard L. Lindroth, the Vilas Distinguished Achievement professor of ecology and recent associate dean of research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Lindroth’s presentation will explore the fundamental premises of science, how humans engage with facts, and how to improve science communication across ideological, cultural and tribal divisions for the betterment of humanity and the sake of the world.

Following his presentation, a George Fox student research poster session and dessert reception will take place in the Bauman lobby.

Lindroth will also speak in a class in Wood-Mar Auditorium at 3 p.m. this afternoon, presenting a lecture entitled “What Can Chemistry Tell Us about Ecology? Insights into the Ecological and Evolutionary Success of an Iconic Forest Tree Species.” All are welcome to this event as well.

Professional-musician-turned-intrepid-economist Arthur Brooks travels around the globe in search of an answer to the question: How can we lift up the world, starting with those at the margins of society?

Along the way, he discovers the secrets not only to material progress for the least fortunate but also true and lasting happiness for all.
