CUBA: The Ecological Path to Development
Professor Levins has focused his work on theoretical, agricultural
and public health ecology, and philosophy of science. He has helped to form
modern agro-ecology, and is applying ecological and evolutionary perspectives
to epidemiology, especially the study of new and resurgent infectious diseases
and environmental change. For over 35 years he has been a participant/observer
in the development of Cuban ecology, agriculture and mathematical biology, and
recently, infectious diseases.

Beyond Star Trek, An Evening with George Takei
M.I.T., Cambridge, MA
George Takei is known throughout the world as Mr. Sulu on "Star
Trek." But for Takei, the "Star Trek" adventure is intertwined
with a personal odyssey through adversity in which he, as a child, was
forced with his family into internment camps during World War II.
Now both actor and activist, Takei will discuss his experiences
as one of the first Asian-American actors to gain widespread exposure in
television and film, offering insights into how his environment shaped
him as an actor, writer, businessman, and political crusader.
