Our special guest this week, Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist Saul Perlmutter will Present on:
From Supernova to Settlement: Lessons in Observation and Data
Using his groundbreaking work on supernovae as a guide, Perlmutter illustrates how meticulous observation and data can light the way toward just and efficient outcomes.
Using his groundbreaking work on supernovae as a guide, Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist Saul Perlmutter illustrates how meticulous observation and data can illuminate the path to just and efficient outcomes. In this insightful presentation, he bridges the worlds of science and law, showing how the rigorous methods that uncovered the universe’s accelerating expansion can be applied to negotiation, mediation, and advocacy. Attendees will discover how to sharpen their focus on evidence, approach conflict with open-minded inquiry, and develop strategies that are grounded in clarity and verifiable facts—ultimately elevating the art of legal practice and dispute resolution.

Our presenter:
Saul Perlmutter is a 2011 Nobel Laureate, sharing the prize in Physics for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe. He is a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, where he holds the Franklin W. and Karen Weber Dabby Chair, and a senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
He is the leader of the international Supernova Cosmology Project, and director of the Berkeley Institute for Data Science and executive director of the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics. His undergraduate degree was from Harvard and his PhD from UC Berkeley. In addition to other awards and honors, he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Dr. Perlmutter has also written popular articles, and has appeared in numerous PBS, Discovery Channel, and BBC documentaries. His interest in teaching scientific-style critical thinking for scientists and non-scientists alike led to Berkeley courses on Sense and Sensibility and Science and Physics & Music.
