Wednesday, January 18 at 11:30 a.m.
Auditorium, West Wing, D. H. Hill Library

During this fast-paced “lunch and learn” program, prize-winning journalist, science blogger and author Andrew C. Revkin will discuss how innovations created in universities and laboratories can best be transmitted to parts of the world where they are most needed. Revkin is the author of The New York Times blog Dot Earth and has spent more than a quarter of a century covering subjects ranging from the troubled relationship between science and politics to climate change at the North Pole.

Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Copies of two of Revkin’s recent works — The Burning Season: The Murder of Chico Mendes and the Fight for the Amazon Rain Forest and The North Pole Was Here: Puzzles and Perils at the Top of the World (children’s book) — will be available for on-site purchase and signing.

For more information call 513-3481 or email marian_fragola@ncsu.edu.

This program is sponsored by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and co-hosted by NC State’s College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the NCSU Libraries.
