Details

Join us in the apartment of Alice Cook House Professor Dean for dessert and a fireside chat with Rush Holt—physicist, former U.S. Congressman, five-time Jeopardy! champion, and one of the most progressive voices in Congress during his sixteen years representing New Jersey’s 12th District. Known for his work to keep science, research, and education central to national policy, Holt brings a rare blend of scientific expertise and public leadership.

In a moment of polarization, misinformation, and declining trust in institutions, his insights on sustaining public appreciation for science are especially urgent. This relaxed, intimate conversation will explore why scientific literacy matters and how it shapes the crises facing the United States today.
