This week at the Philip's Event Center we will be hearing from Dr. Kirstin Matthews from the Baker Institute on Vaccine Skepticism.
Matthews is the director of the Baker Institute Science and Technology Policy Program and the Center for Health and Biosciences’ Biomedical Research Program. Her research focuses on ethical and policy issues at the intersection between traditional biomedical research and public policy. Specifically, she focuses on regulation and ethical issues associated with emerging biotechnology, including vaccines, stem cells, synthetic biology, and genomic medicine. Matthews also collaborates with Kenneth Evans and Neal Lane to understand how scientific advice is used in and provided for the federal government, including the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
StageCenter Theatre, located in Historic Downtown Bryan, is the oldest live theatre company in the Bryan/College Station area. Celebrating our 60th year, it has been a pillar of the local arts scene, producing high-quality performances that entertain and inspire. From timeless classics to contemporary works, StageCenter brings stories to life while providing opportunities for local talent to shine both on and off the stage.
As a nonprofit, 100% volunteer-run organization, StageCenter thrives on the support of its community. The theatre is funded through ticket sales, underwriting, donors, memberships, advertisers, and partnerships with local businesses and organizations. Last year, we relied on over 9,500 hours of volunteer time across our productions, programs, and events. These contributions ensure that StageCenter can continue offering engaging performances, maintain its space, and provide opportunities for involvement, from acting and directing to behind-the-scenes production roles. Through this community support, StageCenter remains a vital part of the cultural fabric of the Brazos Valley.
