YCSC Altman Bio-politics Talk

 

Nobel prize winner and Yale biology professor Sidney Altman spoke about stem cell research and other bio-politics issues with a group of 60 Yale alums and friends September 18, 2002 at the Skirball Center. Altman's talk was followed by lively, thoughtful questions about the role of government in funding bio-politics, and Bush's stance on science.

Altman also described how he increased the graduation requirements to include three courses in each of the four groups of undergraduate study. This ensures that students have at least three courses in science. Intro courses in the sciences don't count!
