Prominent astrophysicist and Christian Dr Jennifer Wiseman has been appointed head of the AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion, an organisation which promotes communication between scientific and religious communities.

“I sense a real interest in religious communities to hear about science, participate in the excitement of discovery, and integrate the study of nature into a sense of awe and stewardship,” Wiseman said. “Scientists and religious leaders in dialogue can play major positive roles in forging constructive public understanding.”
