The Kavli Institute at Cornell hosted a public talk by Alan Alda on May 22, 2013. Speaking to a sold-out auditorium in Rockefeller Hall, Alda brought his experience as an actor in the TV classic “M*A*S*H,” as a host of the PBS series “Scientific American Frontiers,” and as a founding member of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University to initiate a dialogue on communication’s vital role in science.  Cornell Chronicle, May 23, 2013.
