Take advantage of this rare opportunity to connect with brilliant

Thinkers of Our Time. This evening we welcome Steven Pinker
and Rebecca Newberger Goldstein.

scientist, and linguist. He is also the Johnstone Family Professor
in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University and the
author of seven books, including The Language Instinct,
and most recently, The Stuff of Thought: Language as a
Window into Human Nature.
Rebecca Newberger Goldstein is a summa-cum-laude graduate
of Barnard College, a PhD in philosophy from Princeton
University, and a MacArthur Fellow. Goldstein is the author of
The Mind Body Problem, and her most recent Thirty-Six
