Volleyball. Speakers who’ve shared at Urbana 15 and Veritas Forum, or served as Senior Project Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope. A webcomics and science chat. Hikes in beautiful California scenery. Hearing how science can deepen your Christian faith. What brings all these things together?
The InterVarsity Emerging Scholars Network student/early career track at the American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) 2016 conference! It’s not too late to join 40 other students/early career scientists at beautiful Azusa Pacific University near LA on July 22-25, 2016. Cosponsored by InterVarsity’s Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) and ASA, a professional association for Christians in science, this pilot student track will include panels on:
- Growing Spiritually Through Your Work in Science
- Finding Christian Mentors/Community in Science
- Thriving As a Science Student (Graduate or Undergraduate)
- Talking to Secular Colleagues About Faith
Confirmed speakers include Josh Swamidass (Urbana 15 talk); Dave Vosburg (Urbana 15 Talk); and Jennifer Wiseman, Senior Project Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope (ESN Interview).
Tom‘s hoping to see you on the court. He was only warming up in 2015 ;)
There will also be a volleyball tournament, hiking options, hangout/community building times with other students and experienced scientists, and an InterVarsity reception. ASA Past President/webcomic author Johnny Lin will also lead an informal conversation about webcomics and science.
