BROWN-BAGS CONSIDER INFORMATION, MEANING AND NOISE

The organizers of a well-attended brown-bag lunch series sponsored by the Center for Science in Society have altered the overarching theme of the discussions from "What Counts" to "Information, Meaning and Noise: What's the Difference?" This semester's offerings will begin with a presentation by Associate Professor of English Katherine Rowe, titled "What Is Information? Comparing Our Conceptual Maps and Investments," at noon on Thursday, Jan. 29, in the Multicultural Center.

The series will continue to meet in the Multicultural Center on Thursdays at noon throughout the semester. The slate of speakers offers a broad diversity of viewpoints, with representatives of academic disciplines in the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, as well as several members of the College's administrative staff. A full calendar, as well as archived minutes of last semester's discussions and an online discussion board, is available at
