Join fellow President’s Circle members, SAR President Michael Brown, and SAR Senior Scholar Dr. Dean Falk for a winter party celebrating creative thought. Dr. Falk will enlighten us on how Albert Einstein’s unusual brain and phenomenal intellectual creativity were based not only on his genes (nature) and upbringing (nurture), they were also the product of human evolution. Enjoy creative cuisine by Piñon Catering and mix your own creative cocktail concoction with Santa Fe Spirits. Creative cocktail attire encouraged.

The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
–Albert Einstein
