Conferences & Lectures
|
In our effort to create a community of interdisciplinary thinkers on law and science, the Joint Degree Program in Law, Health & the Life Sciences and Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences sponsor an event approximately each month. Each year's events are connected by a theme—such as environmental ethics or public health—and welcome audiences made up of students and faculty from all departments on campus, legislators, attorneys, scientists, and community members.
