Roald Hoffmann Speaks

Nobel Prize winner and chemist (as well as author, poet, and playwright) Roald Hoffmann recently spoke at both Upper Dublin High School and Congregation Beth Or near Philadelphia about the relationship between science and the humanities. Hoffmann's speech at Beth Or focused on the connections between scientific discovery and Judaism, and was based partly on Old Wine, New Flasks: Reflections on Science and Jewish Tradition, a book he co-wrote with Shira Leibowitz Schmidt.
