Pranab Das and Daniel Blair '97 will co-host an advanced summer school for graduate students and a research working group at Georgetown next week.
From June 11 to 16 they will be hosting a three-part gathering at Georgetown University involving 30 graduate students and 20 faculty. The graduate students will be taking part in two “summer school” programs, advanced intensive study of materials science and philosophy. Concurrently, a team of the senior scholars will hold a closed-door study session with the intention of laying out a “white paper” detailing the key questions and research agendas central to revising contemporary philosophy of science to account for this novel and important form of matter.
