The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Georgetown University Program on Science in the Public Interest and the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation are co-sponsoring a discussion series "Science & Society: Grand Challenges".

No powerpoint. No notes. Just candid conversations with leading scientists, economists, and politicians hosted by award-winning NPR reporter Joe Palca.

The events will be held every Monday night in November from 6pm to 7:30pm in the AAAS Auditorium at 1200 New York Avenue. A reception will start at 5pm.

November 26th's discussion will be about "Containing the Spread of WMDs". Participants include Ambassador Linton Brooks, former Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, and Joseph Cirincione, Senior Fellow and Director for Nuclear Policy at the Center for American Progress.
