APEX LECTURE GIVEN
BY ELIZABETH COBB
ASUMH student Elizabeth Cobb gave a lecture on May 11 as part of the APEX Lec-
ture Series titled “Scientific Literacy: the World, the Community, the Individual.”
The lecture challenged the public to learn about some of the causes and rami-
fications of scientific illiteracy and science denial and to learn about how they
can support science. Cobb covered how science affects the following topics: tech-
nological and medical advances, timely and accurate weather information, safe
and nutritional food sources, a robust military defense and national security, and
exploring our universe. ASUMH science instructor Jessica Clanton joined Cobb at
the lecture to offer context and perspective on the research.
