Talking Science is designed to engage high school students with a strong interest in science and their teachers. This annual event, led by a member of Rockefeller’s world-class faculty, includes a morning lecture with Q&A followed by interactive activities organized by the RockEDU Science Outreach Program and Rockefeller scientists.

The Lewis Thomas Prize for Writing about Science honors the rare individual who bridges the worlds of science and the humanities – whose voice and vision can tell us about science’s aesthetic and philosophical dimensions, providing not merely new information but cause for reflection, even revelation. Lewis Thomas, the noted physician, scientist and essayist who died in 1993, was the prize’s inspiration and its first recipient in 1993.

The Insight Lecture Series is designed to bring leading speakers on sciences, arts and humanities to Rockefeller to address the wider interests of the scientists on campus — staff, students, postdocs, and faculty alike.

In addition to the lectures and concerts held on campus regularly throughout the year, the university also hosts campus-wide events, including Convocation for Conferring Degrees.
