Tucson Jewish Museum & Holocaust Center kicks off the 2026 Lakin Lecture Series on Antisemitism with Dr. Peter Hotez in conversation with local doctors and scientists. Dr. Hotez is a vaccine scientist, biochemist, and pediatrician who has led or co-led the development of vaccines worldwide. An ardent vaccine advocate and science explainer who combats anti-science and antisemitism around the world, he will join a distinguished panel of local practitioners to discuss the challenges of faith and the changing face of science.

This event can be attended either in-person at the Tucson J or via Zoom. Those intending to watch with Zoom will receive a Zoom invitation link to their email shortly before the event.

This Lakin Lecture Series on Antisemitism is made possible with the generous support from the Alma and Ed Lakin Education Fund, which was established at the Jewish Community Foundation of Southern Arizona by their daughter in order to honor Alma and Eddie’s lifelong commitment to Holocaust Education, the people of Israel, to Jewish Life, and to the combatting of antisemitism and advocacy for social justice.

With special thanks to our program partners Jewish Philanthropies of Southern Arizona and The J (Tucson Jewish Community Center)
