THE KAVLI PRIZE POPULAR SCIENCE LECTURES bring to Oslo scientists and popular scientific authors to discuss engaging topics as far-ranging as science itself.  Open to the public, past topics have ranged from the science of cooking to the triggers for memory; from the intricacies of particle physics to the search for extraterrestrial life. Among the past speakers: best-selling author Bill Bryson, theoretical physicist and author Lisa Randell, food expert and chef Nathan Myhrvol, and Jill Tarter, Director of the Center for SETI Research at the SETI Institute.
