Lakeside will host Laurie Santos, scientist and happiness researcher, on Wednesday, Oct. 15 for the Bernie Noe Endowed Lecture on Ethics and Politics.

Santos’ podcast, “The Happiness Lab,” has drawn more than 100 million downloads since its launch in 2019. 

The lecture starts at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Lectures are free of charge and open to all members of the Lakeside community. Registration is required and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Register here.
