Freeman Dyson is giving a public lecture on biotechnology.

Nassau Presbyterian Church (in Princeton, NJ) will host the first of three Sunday-morning lecture series on Science and Theology and Immigration and Asylum, starting on May 3, 9:15-10:15 a.m. in the assembly room.

On May 10, the church presents "Biotechnology: From Scientific Tool to Domestic Pastime" with Freeman Dyson. Dyson, professor emeritus of physics since 1994 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, will talk about the pros and cons regarding the possibility that biotechnology will evolve like computer technology.
