SLU PHYSICS PROFESSOR PART OF 'SCIENCE & THE SPIRITUAL' PROGRAM

CANTON -- St. Lawrence University Associate Professor of Physics Aileen 
A. O'Donoghue is one of a select group of 60 scientists from around the 
world chosen to participate in an international program exploring "Science 
and the Spiritual Quest."
	The project will involve four groups of scientists, meeting in 
private workshops to hear the views of their colleagues and to formulate 
some of their own thoughts on the similarities and differences between 
their scientific work and the religious or spiritual quest as they 
understand it. O'Donoghue will meet with a group of physicists and 
cosmologists in Paris in January of 2001. Following that workshop, additional 
workshops and presentations at conferences and symposia may follow.
	Science and the Spiritual Quest is a program of the Center for 
Theology and the Natural Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley, 
with funding from the John Templeton Foundation.
	O'Donoghue is a graduate of Fort Lewis College, with a master's 
degree and Ph.D. from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. 
She joined the faculty at St. Lawrence in 1988. She is known to many in the 
North Country for her column called "Mountain Skies," published in Adirondac 
magazine.
