Human cloning? Gene patents? HIV research? Bio-terrorism? The future of research and exploration at Campus and JPL?

What would you ask David Baltimore if you had the chance to chat with him for an hour? Renowned journalist and KPCC AirTalk host Larry Mantle will be our voice as he engages in delightful conversation with Dr. Baltimore in JPL's von Kármán Auditorium. Over two hundred of us will be able to eavesdrop as they discuss topics most passionate to Dr. Baltimore and most relevant to us.

Some questions from the audience will be taken, but we would like to encourage you to submit questions in advance so Mr. Mantle can make the discussion as relevant to our Caltech community as possible. Please send your questions for Dr. Baltimore to [email protected].

About AirTalk:

"In an era where so much of talk radio is devoted to lightweight tabloid-style topics, Mantle focuses on the art of conversation...incisively drawing out his guests, then distilling the points of their discourse".
Los Angeles Times

Named "Best Talk Show in LA" in 2002 by the Los Angeles Press Club and for several years by New Times LA, AirTalk has received numerous awards for journalistic excellence.

"We strive to be fair-minded and intelligent," says Larry, "but without sidelining our sense of humor. We have a lot of fun putting the program together and talking with our exceptionally bright listeners. We hope we communicate this enthusiasm for knowledge and respect for community dialogue in each day's program."

This event is free. All JPL/Caltech personnel are welcome.
