scientists, the afflicted and the cured.
The 2025 Current Events lecture series opens with “Genomics and the Future of Humanity” by Proprietor Dr. Fred Schubert. The talk will consider the history of genetics, the determination of the DNA structure, diagnosis and treatment of genetic code diseases and consideration of the dramatic, unsettling and wide-open future of genomic studies. Exemplary cases will help bring this very human story to life. Some science pertinent to the topic will be considered as well.
For the 2025 Current Events Series, each program begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Shaw Research Library (unless otherwise noted). Online reservations for each program are required as seating is limited.
