Purdue has a lecture series which is free and open to the public, and features people who are active in business, politics, or both.
Next week, Bjorn Lomborg will be the featured speaker. The format is an hour-long discussion with Purdue president Mitch Daniels, followed by a Q&A session with the audience. The presentation is free.
From Purdue's promotional materials:
Mr. Lomborg is a Danish environmentalist, author, think-tank president, and visiting professor of strategic management and globalization at the Copenhagen Business School. As president of economic think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center, he leads a team of experts researching potential solutions to global issues via economic principles. He is the author of several books, including The Skeptical Environmentalist, Measuring the Real State of the World, which examines the veracity of many of the most publicized claims and predictions on environmental issues.
Lomborg is the former director of the Danish government's Environmental Assissment Institute and was named on of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2004.
The lecture takes place Tuesday, April 11, at 6:30 p.m. in Fowler Hall on the Purdue campus. And again, it's free.

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
