The Insight Lecture Series is designed to bring leading speakers on sciences, arts and humanities to Rockefeller to address the wider interests of the scientists on campus — staff, students, postdocs and faculty alike. In 2005, the Insight series merged with the Zanvil A. Cohn Forum on Health Affairs to include speakers on science and health policy. Lecturers have included Alan Alda, Malcolm Gladwell, James Watson and Michael Crichton, among many others.
