Throughout each academic year the Franke Program in Science and the Humanities at Yale invites guests to give talks and participate in discussion with students, faculty, and the public. Guests have included Stephen Pinker, Jared Diamond, and David Haskell. The Franke Program in Science and the Humanities is a new initiative at Yale that aims to foster communication, mutual understanding, collaborative research and teaching among diverse scientific and humanistic disciplines. It is made possible by the generosity of Richard (‘53) and Barbara Franke.
