LEWISBURG, Pa. — The psychology department at Bucknell University will host two lectures this week. Both lectures, part of the Series in Children's Studies, are open to the public without charge.

An award-winning emergency-room physician and medical adviser for the health clinic in Nangi, Nepal, Stoner has traveled to many cultures to deliver medical care.
