The Cosmic Song as a Pathway to Peace

Sometimes we nail it on the first try.  Such was the case in 1955 when Sy Miller and Jill Jackson wrote their much-beloved song, “Let There Be Peace On Earth.”  Within one short set of lyrics, they identified a profound universal truth: that peace on earth is possible only to the extent to which we each feel peace

Changes on the Horizon

Ananya Sri Ram Rajan

Happy spring! 

It is said that change is inevitable. We see this with the weather patterns, in technology, with what is “in” and what is “out,” and we see it in society as a whole.

April 14, 2017

Have you ever stopped and thought about the fact that everything you use comes from the Earth? 

This Earth Day will be unlike any other since its inception in 1970. Rallies and marches will take place around the world to drawn attention to the need for “evidence-based policy making and inclusivity in the science community.” Started as a conversation on the social media site Reddit, March for Science will bring together scientists, lovers of science, and sympathizers from around the world to raise awareness about the need for science to be taken as it is: a tool that uses objective means to study issues and find solutions to today’s problems, climate change being one of them.
