Science Futures — Long Now Talks
The Long Now Foundation's annual Science Futures event brings researchers and thinkers together to explore what scientific questions will define the decades ahead.
Why we picked this
The Long Now's Science Futures evening asks the question the rest of the year's headlines skip: not what's happening now, but what will matter in fifty years.
The Long Now Foundation has spent more than two decades bringing scientists, technologists, and intellectuals to San Francisco to think beyond the short-term news cycle. Science Futures is their annual occasion to look further still — not at the breakthroughs of this month, but at the problems and possibilities that will define scientific inquiry across the next generation.
Speaker lineup and full program details are forthcoming. Past Science Futures events have featured researchers working at the edges of biology, climate science, physics, and computation, with conversations oriented toward questions that don’t yet have answers — which is, arguably, the most interesting kind.
Full program and ticketing will be announced via the Long Now newsletter. Joining the newsletter is the best way to be notified as speakers are confirmed.
