Science and business come together at discussion panel at Sage Hill

Sage Hill School is partnering with the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce to present a discussion panel on the use of science in the world of business.

The panel discussion — featuring Vineer Bhansali, managing director and portfolio manager at PIMCO, and James Owen Weatherall, assistant professor of logic and philosophy of science at UC Irvine and author of the New York Times bestseller “The Physics of Wall Street” — will focus on theoretical and practical applications of science in world finance, the stock market and investor behavior strategies, according to a news release.

Edward Thorp, a former UCI professor of mathematics and author of two New York Times bestsellers, “Beat the Market” and “Beat the Dealer,” is moderating the discussion.

The event is from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Oct. 2 at The Black Box Theater in the Studio at Sage Hill School, 20402 Newport Coast Drive, Newport Beach. It is free and open to the public.
