Science and human rights are inextricably linked, and science has made rich and lasting contributions to the promotion and protection of human rights. For 25 years, the Science and Human Rights Program and Richard Claude have been working, individually and together, to put science in the service of human rights. Join us on December 10 to celebrate these interconnections and to learn more about them.

Please pass this invitation along to interested colleagues, students and friends.
