On what would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday, Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute will celebrate his legacy in an interdisciplinary day of science, music, and more as part of the College of Arts & Sciences’ Arts Unplugged series.
Opening the event will be Sagan's longtime collaborator and widow, Emmy and Peabody award-winning writer/producer/director Ann Druyan, who, among other collaborations with Sagan, co-wrote the original “Cosmos” series with him; co-created the motion picture “Contact”; and is writer, producer, and director of the award-winning second and third seasons of “Cosmos.”
Astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute, will serve as event moderator, with Institute team members from the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and Agriculture and Life Sciences offering talks on their exciting research.
