Description
From the next quantum leap to the question of free will. Who could explain the big questions of life, arts and science to you better than Nobel prize winners and others who are in forfront of these discussions. The World Science Festival brings together great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that presents the wonders of science and the drama of scientific discovery to a broad general audience. The Festival’s flagship live event, launched in 2008, is an annual weeklong celebration and exploration of science. The Festival takes science out of the laboratory and into the streets, parks, museums, galleries and premier performing arts venues of New York City. Hailed a “new cultural institution” by The New York Times, the Festival has featured scientific and cultural luminaries including Stephen Hawking, Maggie Gyllenhaal, E.O. Wilson, John Lithgow, Sir Paul Nurse, Glenn Close, Harold Varmus, Yo-Yo Ma, Steven Weinberg, Philip Glass, Eric Lander, Steven Chu, Chuck Close, Richard Leakey, Bobby McFerrin, Sylvia Earle, Anna Deavere Smith, Oliver Sacks, Liev Schreiber, Mary-Claire King, Charlie Kaufman, Bill T. Jones, John Hockenberry, Elizabeth Vargas among many others discussing the questions which really matter. The World Science Festival is a production of the Science Festival Foundation, a 501©(3) non-profit organization headquartered in New York City. The Foundation's mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future. Spread the knowledge, seed.
