Copenhagen is set during World War II, when the friendship of two Nobel Prize-winning physicists is tested by the prospect of providing Nazi Germany with the atomic bomb. A mysterious visit by Werner Heisenberg to Niels Bohr's home in Copenhagen in 1941 brings these renowned physicists and dear friends together under trying circumstances and leads to an argument whose consequences may determine the fate of nations. Uncertainty, the quantum mechanical principle discovered by Heisenberg, lies at every turn as he, Bohr, and Bohr's wife, Margrethe, attempt to reconstruct this fateful conversation and unravel their misunderstanding once and for all. This Tony Award-winning play (2000, Best Play) is based on historical characters and events.

Are robots finally replacing humans? Join Northwestern Engineering faculty fellow Mark Mills as he discusses emerging artificial intelligence and automation technologies, whether they’ll lead to “peak jobs,” and the possibility of a Universal Basic Income for citizens that are unemployable in the new “knowledge” workforce.

Mills is founder and CEO of Digital Capital Power, a tech-centric capital advisory group. He also co-founded the Digital Power Group, Digital Power Capital, and ICx Technologies. A trained physicist and development engineer, Mills served as a staff consultant to the White House Science Office under President Ronald Reagan, a number of federal research laboratories, and the US Department of Energy.

Conservation science has progressed rapidly over the past few decades. The primary purpose of conservation research is to gather credible knowledge to assist with management and policy. Unfortunately, decision science, which is the science of how to make decisions in all fields, is rarely used with conservation science. Join The Nature Conservancy’s Hugh Possingham for a discussion on the applications of simple mathematical tools that have transformed nature conservation in The Nature Conservancy and around the world, as well as the value of data and research in conservation.
