Scientia Institute
TRADE-OFFS
Whether balancing work and family, self and community, privacy and safety, present needs and future goals, trade-offs are a part of virtually every facet of human life. This year Scientia looks at the science, philosophy, ethics, economics, and art of the balancing acts that are so much a part of the human condition.
The series in the fall semester will be virtual and details about each lecture will be shared soon.
Scientia is a faculty-led Institute at Rice that promotes multidisciplinary engagement to benefit the university and the Houston community at large.
