Alan Alda and Edward O Wilson: The Humanities, Sciences, and the Origins of Creativity

For more than a decade, actor and author Alan Alda hosted PBS's Scientific American Frontiers, interviewing scientists from physicists to neuroscientists. In this rare public conversation, Alda engages Edward O. Wilson, one of the most celebrated biologists of our time, whose The Origins of Creativity offers a sweeping examination of the relationship between the humanities and the sciences and how both are rooted in human creativity—the defining trait of our species. Join a master communicator and the senior statesman of science for an eloquent exploration of creativity and its manifestations throughout human history.

This program is presented in partnership with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
