Please update your fellowship information

To all our fellowship leaders:

It's that time of year again to update your fellowship's information on our site! We would like to ensure that those looking for a fellowship at UCSF will have the latest information on whom to contact in your fellowship and what your ministry is all about. Please contact me with any updates to your fellowship.

Veritas Forum 2010

This year we hosted our 2nd Veritas Forum at UCSF with Dr. Ard Louis from Oxford University. Ard made the circuit at Stanford and UCSF, and we had the privilege of hearing his perspective on whether "Science Can Explain Everything?" His reasoning from acknowledging the limits of science and what he calls "tapestry arguments" provide a compelling view on how to manage the questions of life that can be informed by but not completely answered by science alone. If you missed the discussion or would like to recap, you can watch it all from the comfort of home:

Many thanks to Chris McClendon &co. for all their hard work in organizing this event!

Catching up on Veritas 2009 with Dr. Bill Newsome

Just over a year ago on Cinco de mayo, we celebrated our first Veritas Forum at UCSF with a conversation with Dr. Bill Newsome, chair of neurobioloigy at Stanford. If you missed that talk or would like to recap on what you saw, Veritas has posted a recording of the talk on their website. Veritas has completely redone their website so that you can watch the video directly from their site a lo youtube! We hope you'll enjoy the conversation and that it will prompt discussion for years to come.
