We are moving the ongoing Science and Religion meetings to the second Tuesday of the Month.
In this short video Jill Bolton, a neuroscientist who suffered a stroke several years ago, describes the experience “from the inside” and goes on to interpret her sense of its meaning. Participants will consider the difference between right and left brain and assess Bolton’s argument that attention to the right brain connects us spiritually with others and the world.

Wednesday , March 10, 2 PM. In the Fleck Room
Dr. Abdul Raoof, specialist on the Middle East and Professor Emeritus of Political Science at SUNY Buffalo, will speak on Iran and domestic and regional factors, which shape the regime’s policy. Does this program constitute a threat to the security of the region and beyond? What are the options for the U.S. and the international community to stem Iran’s armament proliferation?
