UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Ashtekar Frontiers of Science Lectures in the Eberly College of Science, a free public outreach now in its 27th year, will return to Penn State on Jan. 23.
This year’s lecture series will focus on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030 — and is titled “Sustainability: How Science Can Help Achieve the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.” Each of this year’s lectures will link to one of the 17 SDGs.
