	The annual Clock Symposium is your chance to participate in the discussions that surround the setting of the Bulletin's Doomsday Clock. Speakers this year include a Who's Who of science and security notables: the Honorable Gareth Evans, former Secretary of Defense William Perry, Sharon Squassoni, and many more. The Symposium is free and open to the public, and will take place on Monday, November 16, 2015, at the University of Chicago's Eckhardt Center in Chicago, Illinois, from 12 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. As part of the Symposium, we are delighted to showcase N Square’s interactive exhibit, Boldness and Opportunity: Innovators Tackle Nuclear Threat. It is based on the idea that today’s risks require a wide variety of creative problem-solvers and collaborators. Visit the exhibit on your way in or out of the Clock Symposium, in the South Lobby of Eckhardt. More about N Square can be found at www.nsquarecollaborative.org.
