In the final installment of the 2012 SFI-CCA "Science of Screen" series in Santa Fe on May 17, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist and co-founder of the Santa Fe Institute joined screenwriter Danny Rubin to give the comedy classic "Groundhog Day" a novel spin: Can Bill Murray help us understand the essence of scientific practice?

The "Science On Screen" series in Santa Fe is a joint collaboration of the Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA) and the Santa Fe Institute. During each event, visionaries from SFI presented some of their favorite films, offering eye-opening perspectives from their own research and the world of science. It's an idea-rich spin on the movies. Read the article about the Science On Screen series in the Santa Fe New Mexican (March 7, 2012)
