Facilitators: Prof. Rosalind W. Picard and Sabbi Lall.
How does believing in a higher power intersect with ways of knowing in science and engineering? Here, we discuss seeking support for what Roz Picard has called “the hardest tests” in life, where faith and community might be an option for spiritual support. Join us as we explore these questions and others together. Attendance is limited to 8 graduate students/post-docs.
