Tyson's lecture titled, "Science as a Way of Knowing," will be Wednesday, March 26, 7 p.m. in Kingsbury Hall. *The event is sold out*, but Dr. Tyson's lecture will be broadcast live to the Marriott Library's Gould Auditorium, the Social and Behavioral Science Lecture Hall and the Film and Media Arts Building Auditorium. Broadcasts are free and open to the public, with doors opening at 6 p.m. In his lecture, Tyson makes the case for science as a way to understand human values, and explores how the scientific process is critical for comprehending the world and universe.
