Dr. Stevens is the featured speaker for the 5th Annual John H. Carlson Lecture, presented in partnership between MIT’s Lorenz Center and the New England Aquarium. The Lorenz Center is a think tank, launched by MIT’s School of Science, and is devoted to fundamental inquiry to foster creative approaches to learning how the climate works.
The Aquarium hosts a series of informative free lectures, films, and discussions for the community this fall. The Lowell Institute supports the lectures. Most are available on the Aquarium’s YouTube channel afterward.
