Linus Pauling Memorial Lectures : What Scientists Know and How They Know It Thursday, May 1st
Are scientific theories true because they correspond to reality? How can we know that they do, given that we have no access to reality except through experience, which scientists themselves tell us is profoundly different from the the way things "really" are?
If you can't get enough of science, and you want to be up on the latest scientific theories and debates, then you should check out the Linus Pauling Memorial Lecture Series.

OMSI Brainstorm Lecture Series: Unearthing China's Dragons – Tuesday, May 20
From Liaoning to Gansu, new dinosaur discoveries are changing the face of paleontology. We will look at some of these discoveries, where they were made, and why dinosaurs half-way around the world are important to the study of dinosaurs in North America.
Judy Sanders has worked in paleontology for 14 years as a fossil excavator in the western United States, Canada, and China, and currently works as a fossil preparator at the Utah Geological Survey under Dr. James Kirkland.
Held once a month in the OMSI Auditorium, OMSI's newest adult discussion series include presentations by experts followed by ample time for Q&A with the speakers and discussion with other participants.
