Science And Faith Examined is made possible by grants from the STEAM Project and the Moore-Hufstedler Fund of Caltech.
Our goal is to start conversations that explore the important questions at the intersection of science, philosophy, ethics, and religion at Caltech and beyond.
We do this by creating a venue for conversation that includes a meal, a talk given by an expert speaker (typically a scientist or philosopher), and a time of discussion in groups of 8-10.
