December 6, 2024--Tonight’s Symposium guests will include EIR's Bill Jones, who recently moderated a forum at the Russian Cultural Center in Washington DC, which focused on the anniversary of the creation of the Russian Academy of Sciences by Peter the Great and Gottfried Leibniz in 1724. The Russian Cultural Center event presented the major work of Mikhail Lomonosov (1711-1765) -- the "Father of Russian Science" -- and discussed the campaign to rebuild Lomonosov's famous physical chemistry laboratory on its original site in St. Petersburg. The discussion also noted Lomonosov's interest in Ben Franklin's work on electricity and magnetism. Bill will be joined by LaRouche Organization vice-president Chris Sare, who has researched the importance of Ben Franklin's international network of scientists, and the relation of Franklin's network and the success of the American Revolution.
