Summary
This document is a proposal for 'The New Origins Project Presents: Strange Bedfellows,' a series moderated by Lawrence Krauss that aims to pair cultural celebrities with famous scientists for public dialogues. The document lists 12 proposed pairings for the first season, including high-profile figures like Barack Obama, Woody Allen, Elon Musk, and Johnny Depp, noting that '23 participants have already agreed in principle.'

The New Origins Project Presents:
Strange Bedfellows:
Culture, Meet Science/Science, Meet Culture
Strange Bedfellows:
Culture, Meet Science/Science, Meet Culture
This series will bring together cultural icons, celebrities, movie stars, directors, writers and
musicians with famous scientists to talk about commonalities and differences. Each
segment will be moderated by scientist/author/provocateur Lawrence Krauss, who has
spent much of his career successfully crossing the chasm separating science and culture.
When at Arizona State University, the Origins Project he created and led for a decade there
produced singular events in which over 3000 people would regularly attend live, and up to
500,000 people would watch the recorded events to hear dialogues and panels, to be
entertained and informed.
