Willamette University’s Atkinson Lecture Series will feature a speaker who’s been described by The Washington Post as “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world today.” He’s a frequent contributor across media, and he’s hosted an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning television special based on one of his three bestselling books. Physicist Brian Greene has earned his place among the world’s premier communicators, and he’s coming to Salem in November.
