Today, Sept. 26, at 7 p.m., Ohio Wesleyan alumnus Gregory Mack, Ph.D., Class of 2002, discusses “Science Policy, Arts, and Engagement,” in Benes Room B of Hamilton-Williams Campus Center, 40 Rowland Ave., Delaware. A physics and astronomy major at OWU, Mack is the senior program officer with the Board on Physics & Astronomy at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., where he manages the Committee on Astronomy and Astrophysics and the Committee on Radio Frequencies, and is study co-director for the Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey (Astro2020). Also a modern dancer and choreographer, Mack has been active in the integration of science and dance, including using dance to help illustrate science concepts, using science concepts as a seed for building a dance performed at the National Academy of Sciences, and helping the Columbus-based Hixon Dance troupe to create a performance involving dances inspired by quantum mechanics and galaxy collisions. Mack’s presentation is part of the 2019-2020 Sagan National Colloquium. Admission is free. Learn more at www.owu.edu/snc.
