Weinberg is the Josey Regental Chair of Science and professor in the physics and astronomy departments the University of Texas, Austin. His research has spanned a broad range of topics in quantum field theory, elemental particle physics and cosmology.
Weinberg was awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in physics and the 1991 National Medal of Science.
He holds honorary doctorates from 12 universities and has authored more than 200 articles on elementary particle physics, cosmology and other subjects.

The Witherspoon Lecture Series was made possible by a grant in 2000 from William Witherspoon, a retired investment banker and a past student and teacher at University College. His gift was motivated by a deep interest in both science and religion.
The lecture is sponsored by the religious studies program and is free and open to the public.
