Science And Faith Examined - "Does technology help or hinder human flourishing?"

  • Caltech Hameetman Student Center Pasadena, CA, 91106 (map)

Join us for our first Science and Faith Examined Event of this year.

Our mission with SAFE events: To create a collegial environment for the examination of faith and science questions at Caltech and beyond. We believe that the examination of questions of faith and science is absolutely vital to an open-minded and thorough search for truth.

Our monthly meetings follow a simple format: Eat a meal, listen to a talk by a prominent scientist or philosopher, and discuss in groups of eight to ten. Please register here so that we have an accurate count for pizza.

Our topic for this month is: Does technology help or hinder human flourishing?

Using curiosity to tune our practices as users and designers in a tech-centric world.
