Join NAS this Friday, January 6, at 3 pm ET for "Science and the Ideology of Race."

Is diversity, equity, and inclusion simply fairness and tolerance, or is there something else at work?

Ute Deichmann is a historian of science and professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and is the director of the Jacques Loeb Centre for the History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences. She has written extensively about the relationships of political ideology and the sciences, particularly the life sciences and chemistry. She is the author of the 1996 book Biologists Under Hitler, which detailed the impact of racial ideology on academia in National Socialist Germany, particularly the expulsion of Jewish scientists. She has also written about the ideological coloring of theories of inheritance, including Lysenkoist theories of heredity and misconceptions about epigenetics. Prof. Deichmann is the author of "Science and the Ideology of Race in Western Democracies ([link removed]) ," recently published in the Heterodox STEM substack.

This ninth installment in the Restoring the Sciences webinar series will feature a fascinating discussion with Ute Deichmann about science and the ideology of race. The discussion will be moderated by J. Scott Turner, Director of the Intrusion of Diversity in the Sciences Project for the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS next Tuesday, January 10, at 2 pm ET for "Satellites: Sputnik to the International Space Station."

In 1957, the Soviets launched Sputnik into orbit, setting off the space race. Since that time, satellites have become a key, if unseen, component of daily life, from telecommunications to scientific exploration.

What is the history of satellites—what were they like at their creation and how far have they come today? How have key satellites such as the ISS, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Webb Telescope, affected our lives in unseen ways?

This webinar will feature Mike Gruntman, Professor of Astronautics and Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California. The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research for the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS on Tuesday, January 17, at 2 pm ET for "The History of Racial Preferences."

Racial preferences in higher education have been a hotly debated topic for more than fifty years. Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the first major case challenging the use of racial preferences in college admissions, was decided by the Supreme Court in 1978. But what brought American higher education to that point? How did racial preferences arise in higher education admissions? Why were they instituted, and how have they changed over time?

This webinar will feature David Bernstein, University Professor of Law and Executive Director of the Liberty & Law Center at the Antonin Scalia Law School; Jonathan Vogel, founder and managing attorney of Vogel Law Firm and former ​​Deputy General Counsel for Higher Education and Regulatory Services at the U.S. Department of Education; and Wilfred Reilly, Associate Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University.

The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research for the National Association of Scholars.
