Faith and Science Talks from our STEAM Project Conference Track

STEAM logo As part of ESN’s 2016-2018 faith/science endeavors through a generous grant from the Fuller STEAM Project, we sponsored a student/early career track in collaboration with the American Scientific Affiliation at their 2017 conference. If you enjoyed our STEAM project faith/science blog series, you may also want to listen to the panels below, hosted at the ASA website. We’ve gathered a list of them here for the convenience of those reading the STEAM series at the ESN blog. 

This project was made possible through the support of an award from the Science and Theology for Emerging Adult Ministries project at Fuller Theological Seminary. The opinions expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Fuller or the STEAM project.

We’re a little over a week away from the American Scientific Affiliation annual meeting at Gordon College. I’m really excited to meet new friends, put faces to names I’ve only talked to online, and catch up with some long-time friends as well. If you’re reading this and will be at the meeting, I hope I get to see you too. Getting a chance to chat face-to-face is a big reason I’m making the trip to Massachusetts. To make those meetings easier, here is my schedule. And also feel free to come up and say ‘hi’ at any other time during the conference as well.
