We invite you to join us as we explore and explain the origins of the human phenomenon! Each symposium draws from world experts (both our distinguished CARTA members and candidates) who share their diverse backgrounds and perspectives with audience members like you whether you join us in the audience at The Salk, or online!
CARTA symposia draw live audiences of up to 800 and each talk is simulcast on the web and accessible across the globe. Archived CARTA lectures have been viewed more than 40 million times, with 100,000+ views occurring each month at multiple websites, including CARTA, UCSD-TV, iTunes, and YouTube. Your support of these symposia has the potential to reach and forever impact a highly intelligent national and international audience.
