Nobel Prize-winning physicist and author Robert Laughlin addressed LSU November 14, as part of the Chancellor’s Distinguished Lectureship Series, or CDLS.
Laughlin’s lecture addressed concerns about growing limitations on access to information and discoveries in the beginning of a new, dark age for science.
The lecture, which was free and open to the public, was followed by a reception where signed copies of Laughlin’s books, “The Crime of Reason and the Closing of the Scientific Mind,” and “A Different Universe: Remaking Physics from the Bottom Down,” were available at the LSU bookstore.
Chancellor Michael V. Martin presented Laughlin with the University Medal in appreciation for his visit and recognition of his outstanding scholarship. |
