Another successful conference: We organized two religion and science panels at @SSSReligion @ReligResearch meetings last weekend, with network members sharing the latest findings in the field.
Grantees Scheitle and Corcoran interviewed about their project findings for @ConversationUS:

Earlier this month, project co-leaders John Evans and Elaine Howard Ecklund hosted the “Report the Results” conference in San Diego. This was a chance for all researchers who had received funding from the @network4sssr re-granting initiative to gather and share project findings.

And that’s a wrap on Report the Results in San Diego! Many thanks to all the grantees for sharing their project results. And we are grateful to @issacharfund and @TempletonRelig for making these projects possible.
@ajacfrost presenting now at Report the Results:
Approx 30% of Americans claim no religious affiliation. There is assumption that the loss of religion is a negative thing for ppl, eg moral decline. (1/2)
Up next at Report the Results is Jacqui Frost, presenting “Secularizing Science in Secular Congregations”
Lawton at Report the Results:
Memorials turn profane forms into sacred forms. Bodies referred to as gifts made to worthy recipients, a sacred act. Bodies not referred to as cadavers, rather as the dead and their bodies. Bc the bodies considered as gifts, students learn reverence.
Up next at Report the Results: Amy Lawton presenting “Donor bodies, medical schools, and the scientific sacred”
Questions raised at our Report the Results conference by @rcragun: can a high cost faith like Mormonism position itself to thrive in a scientific world? (1/3)
By and large, Mormons reject the ideas of religion/science conflict. They have knowledge and acceptance of scientific topics and rely on science to talk about the world around them. (2/3)
On now at Report the Results:
@rcragun and Bethany Gull presenting their work on nuanced understandings of Mormons and science.
