Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, author of many acclaimed works on biology and behavior, will discuss his controversial new book "Determined: A Life of Science Without Free Will" with John Horgan, director of the Center for Science Writings.

Launched in 2005, the Center for Science Writings (CSW) hosts talks by authors of books on pressing science-related issues, from climate change to mental illness. Speakers—be they scientists, humanities scholars or journalists—deliver free, public lectures each and every semester.

The CSW is part of the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
