Frontiers in Science Public Lecture Series

Welcome to the 2023 season of our public lecture series, Frontiers in Science, hosted by the Florida Atlantic University Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. This season will be back in-person, with live talks and question and answer sessions. We invite you to explore the sciences with us. We have experts this season from a range of scientific disciplines that we've brought to you from across the country and from right here in our own community.

We hope these lectures move you to deeper learning, explain your world, ignite your discussions, and bring the richness of the sciences to you.

Keep your eye out for our "pop-up" talks later in the spring that we will add to the Frontiers' schedule.

It is never far from our mind that,�� , we would not have the confidence to plan boldly for our student’s future or to continue the race to scientific excellence and discovery.

Join us as we begin a new exploration of the sciences together!
