Coming up next month, our own Alan Lightman will be hosting a public TV series dealing with the fundamentals: "How can consciousness, music, love arise from atoms and molecules? What human qualities should we retain as we become part machine?"
Alan is host and co-writer of SEARCHING: Our Quest for Meaning in the Age of Science. A new 3-part series premiering on public television January 2023.
