The human eye is an amazing organ, but it only enables us to see a small fraction of the physical world. With the aid of light and special instruments, however, it is possible to see and study a world that would otherwise be invisible, from the minute molecules that make us who we are, to distant galaxies across the expanding universe. Adam Cohen and Dimitar Sasselov will discuss the role of light in expanding our ability to “see” and they will describe new advances in light-based technologies.

Part of the [*What's Light Got to Do With It?* Lecture Series](http://brain.harvard.edu/special-events), presented in partnership with the Harvard Brain Science Initiative and the Harvard Art Museums.
