The third salon held by the Carnegie Science Foundation in a series on “Origins” — this time on the Origins of Life: The Formation of Earth And Our Solar System — happened inside Dr. William A Haseltine and, his wife, Maria Eugenia Maury’s art-filled residence in Manhattan. Welcoming his guests Bill explained, “We’ve traveled to Chile where Carnegie has built, and continues to build, more and more powerful telescopes that are helping us understand the origins of the universe. They’re doing really interesting work there. Tonight, we have a very special conversation, what is the origin of this particular matter that we circle the sun on? The origins of our planet earth.”
While thanking Bill and Maria Eugenia, Dr. Eric D. Isaacs, President of Carnegie Science, provided context for the salon discussions with this points:
At the finish, all left was complex inquiry to which Steve Martin posed the order, “and we need an answer right away” (which got a big laugh), and Father Timothy Healy (former president of Georgetown University) who, reassuringly said, “I don’t really see any discrepancies between theology and science.”
Guests included Veronique Bich, Joan Hardy Clark, Ed Epstein, Robert Hormats, Jeanne Lawrence, Encarnita and Robert Quinlan, Yolanda Santos, Anne Stringfield and two dozen top scientists and researchers. The Haseltine’s will host another Carnegie Science Foundation salon in February.
