Stephon Alexander, Ph.D.Brown University
IDEA Scholar, 2020-2021, Flatiron Institute
Presents is a free events series exploring the connections between science, culture and society. Join our scientists and special guests as they discuss the intersections of their work, followed by an evening of conversation over drinks. It’s an opportunity to hear new perspectives that may challenge your assumptions and stoke your curiosity. Meet interesting people who share a passion for ideas and discovery. Come for the conversation, stay for the connections.
Like a musical composition, physicist Stephon Alexander will present a four-part movement, each containing a vignette of experiences he had interacting and collaborating with artists and musicians (such as Will Calhoun, Ornette Coleman, Brian Eno, Melvin Gibbs, Rosemary Goodell, Justin Guariglia, Ned Kahn and Arto Lindsay) and how those interactions influenced his scientific ideas, research, approach and creativity.
