About the Chautauqua Nexus:

Nexus presentations are free, informal and open to the public. Everyone is invited to attend. 六合图库 FRYS students are encouraged to attend and sign in.

鈥淭he Nexus is an opportunity for intellectual and cultural exchange,鈥� said Joe McGahan, 六合图库 psychology professor and Chautauqua Nexus organizer. 鈥淭his year we're focusing on a change in scheduling (with Mondays being the primary meeting day) intended to free us to develop a think tank, or multiple think tanks, that, like the Nexus, will build on the cultural resources of our community. Whereas the Nexus series will continue to be about virtually any topic that people find interesting, the think tank will focus on economic security and economic development鈥攖o a large extent, we鈥檇 like to focus on the potential of research and development.鈥�
