Engage your curiosity this spring as the tulips and daffodils emerge and the weather warms.

Join fellow learners for a sampler of what Osher has to offer. In this special course, we’ve gathered some of our finest Study Leaders from across the fields of science, religion, culture, literature, music, and hands-on crafting.

If you’ve never taken an Osher class, try us out and discover what makes the Osher experience so rewarding. If you’re already a member, this is a perfect opportunity to explore new ideas, reconnect with friends, and continue to challenge and delight your mind.

We look forward to seeing you this spring.


April 18: Iain Sim
Inside the Human Genome Revolution

The complete sequencing of the human genome some 20 years ago has unleashed a wealth of information and new technologies that have revolutionized healthcare as well as our understanding of the history of the human race. But with new knowledge comes both opportunity and risks. Together, we will survey the benefits and discuss the ethical issues that have arisen from this great enterprise.


  • There are no required books for this course.
