Seminar Series Join us on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, beginning at 3 p.m. for coffee and cookies and plan to stay after our 3:30 p.m. event for the quarterly ACES Connect reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Promoting a simple and seamless experience is the goal for the world’s leading mobility providers. App-driven services that provide choices in price and predict arrival times within just a minute or two are popular with mobility consumers in part because the entire experience is managed on the screen and by the mobile device, including payments. The action all happens at the curbside, another data-rich environment for mobility and logistics payments. But happens when consumers switch between mobility services? How can users avoid the complexity of a farecard and the …

Mercer Island Community and Event Center
Mercer Island, WA
Conventional wisdom has long posited that population growth leads to scarcer resources. In 2021, for example, one widely publicized report argued, “The world’s rapidly growing population is consuming the planet’s natural resources at an alarming rate . . . the world currently needs 1.6 Earths to satisfy the demand for natural resources . . . could rise to 2 planets by 2030.” But is that true? Join us on Thursday, May 4 for a reception and lecture as Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Gale Pooley discusses his new book Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet. Contrary to the anti-human theory of overpopulation, Pooley and his coauthor Marian Tupy found that resources actually became more …

Camp Copass
Denton, TX
We are pleased to announce that the Conference on Engineering in Living Systems (CELS) is set for 2023 and will again be held in Denton, Texas. CELS brings together leading engineers and biologists in order to: (1) apply engineering principles to better understand biological systems, (2) craft a design-based theoretical framework that explains and predicts the behaviors of living systems, and (3) develop research programs that demonstrate the engineering principles at work in living systems. This year’s conference will follow a workshop-like format of discussion-oriented sessions in a collegial setting, with a goal of fostering active participation and establishing concrete results and action items. Join us as we build a theoretical framework and research programs …

Online Event
Historically, the Summer Seminar program organized by the Center for Science & Culture has included two seminars offered concurrently: the Seminar on Intelligent Design in the Natural Sciences, designed for students and professionals in the natural sciences and the history and philosophy of science, and the C.S. Lewis Fellows Program on Science and Society, designed primarily for students and professionals in the humanities, social sciences, law, and theology. In the past, we have held these programs in person and participants have joined us from all over the world. Due to the volatility and uncertainty of international travel, however, we have decided to reserve the above seminars for U.S. participants and instead offer a third program combining both tracks described …
