Origins of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Facts and Fallacies
When
Where
This is not a TLA-sponsored event. Toward a stronger ecosystem, we are sharing it on behalf of the University of Arizona College of Science.
Few topics have dominated our lives like COVID-19, and the whole world is awash in facts and fictions about the pandemic. Scientists are now reporting what they're learning about the origins of the disease, but can we trust them? On March 1, Dr. Michael Worobey will lay the groundwork for a factual understanding of the coronavirus and help dispel some common misconceptions.
Myth Busting Science | Lecture Series
The College of Science is excited to announce Myth Busting Science as the topic of our 2023 Lecture Series. Join us inside Centennial Hall at 7pm on Wednesdays in February and early March for enlightening presentations by four renowned University of Arizona faculty as they debunk common misconceptions in society and apply state-of-the-art scientific methods to solving critical problems.
In partnership with Arizona Arts Live, local musicians will perform prior to each lecture, beginning at 6:30 p.m. A poet from the University of Arizona Poetry Center will also read an original poem created for each topic immediately preceding the lecture.
All lectures begin at 7 p.m and run approximately one hour.
For those unable to attend the lecture presentations in-person, we will livestream the talks on the UAZScience YouTube channel and record them for later viewing.
Submit your RSVP today! The series is free and open to the public.
