Yearning for Wisdom with Dr. Francis Collins (Part 2 of 2)

Beauty At Work

This episode is the second part of my conversation with Dr. Francis Collins, a pioneer physician-scientist who led the Human Genome Project and has been director of the National Institutes of Health during the tenures of three U.S. presidents.
Dr. Collins shares insights from his impressive career: from the discovery of genes linked to many diseases to addressing public health challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and his efforts to bring harmony between science and faith. We will also discuss the intersection of beauty and science, public health leadership, and the critical task of bridging societal divides in our polarized times. Dr. Collins’s latest book, The Road to Wisdom, deals with the relationship between truth, science, faith, and trust.

In this second part of our conversation, we talk about:

• The transformative power of faith in science
• The power of beauty to evoke spiritual longing
• Building bridges through healthy conflict
• The need for faith communities in creation care
• The pursuit of truth amidst uncertainty and misinformation
