“One of the great tragedies of our time is this impression that has been created that science and religion have to be at war.” - Francis Collins

Dr. Collins led the international team of scientists who made history in June of 2000 by announcing they had decoded the entire human genome. Time Magazine called him "the man who cracked the genome". Collins is also an evangelical Christian and the author of the recent book, "The Language of God".

In this talk, Dr. Collins will discuss the interplay between faith and science offering challenging and invigorating insight to both Christians and non-Christians alike.

Professor William Newsome, Chair Stanford Department of Neurobiology, will facilitate a question and answer session for Stanford faculty and students after the talk.
