On 15 June, the AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion (DoSER) program will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a program of speakers and group discussions, covering topics from artificial intelligence to racism. While DoSER (www.aaas.org/DoSER) has had notable successes in building relationships between religious and scientific communities, the anniversary is a prompt to look forward, not back, said the program leaders.
At the event, called “Forward Together: Where Science, Ethics, and Religion Intersect in a Changing World,” speakers “will talk about the issues that are hot topics in science and technology today that have a broad impact on life around the globe,” said DoSER Director Jennifer Wiseman, “and how faith communities are integral to good uses of science and technology going forward.”

The United States currently has the highest prison and jail populations in this entire world, in the history of the world. The US incarceration population sits at a staggering 1,435,500 people as of the end of 2019. The suicide rate among US prisoners is four times as high as the general population’s national average.

When I was a kid, we lived across the alley from our grandparents. They had a subscription to the local paper, so every day after school I would make my way over.
Eventually, I got scolded for not even bothering to say hi before I took their paper and headed to the brown living-room carpet, facedown, to immerse myself in ink and newsprint.
The first section would always be the comics (as Grandma called them, “the funnies”), then every word of the sports section, all the way down to the box scores. In sixth grade, that’s where I learned that my favorite player was traded to the Baltimore Orioles, and my gasp was so loud that it spilled two drinks in the kitchen. Last after the front page, local, opinion, arts, religion and every other bit of news was consumed came the daily st
