Perceptions: Science and Religious Communities was a day-long national conference that brought together leaders in science and religion—including Nobel Prize-winning physicist William D. Phillips, Texas Tech University climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, National Association of Evangelicals president Leith Anderson, and Rice University sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund—to foster dialogue between scientific and religious communities, and to plan a course for future conversation. The March 13, 2015 conference included dynamic speakers, enriching topical discussion tracks, lunch, and a concluding reception.
