Physics in the Pub – “Can Physics Save the World?”

A big thanks to everyone who showed up to our welcome back BBQ on Monday, and to those of you who couldn’t make it, we’ll hold another one soon. However, the next event will be the inaugural Physics in the Pub, where we’ll spend an evening in a panel-led discussion on physics and the world around us, over a meal and a drink with friends.

We’re kicking off the first Physics in the Pub with:

Can Physics Save the World?

• Bryn Sobott CRC for Biomedical Imaging Development
• Jim Black Nossal Institute for Global Health
• Vivien Lee University of Melbourne Experimental Particle Physics Group
• Mark Boland The Australian Synchrotron
• Roger Rassool School of Physics, University of Melbourne

We’ll go on a journey from basic physics all the way to ridding the world of malaria and landmines.
