Science, Serendipity and the Search for Truth: Uncertainty

Science, Serendipity and the Search for Truth puts science on stage in an informal series of conversations and performances. This event focuses on uncertainty, with Annenberg's Larry Pryor and JPL senior research scientist Moustafa Chahine investigating how and why journalists failed in their efforts to understand and convey the true nature of uncertainty surrounding the global warming issue. Showing how uncertainty is a central tool in art, USC's Thornton School of Music's composer Veronika Krausas, accompanied by performers, will discuss and illustrate how uncertainty plays an essential role in music. And finally, uncertainty in engineering? You bet. USC alumni Farzad Naeim, an engineer who played a leading role in the structural engineering of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, will tell us how it works.
