National Science Week is just around the corner! To celebrate, the Physics Students’ Society will be holding another session of Physics in the Pub, a panel-led discussion on physics and the world around us, over a meal and a drink with friends.
The topic will be:
Can Physics Change Climate Change?
We’ll look at the people, the projects and the prospects for dealing with climate change through physics and other fields of science and engineering.
Joining us on the evening will be our panel:
- David Jamieson, Head, School of Physics, University of Melbourne
- Grant Schuster, Ernst & Young Sustainability Advisory Services
- Rachel Webster, Astrophysics Group, University of Melbourne
- Simon Torok, Communications, Marine and Atmospheric Research, CSIRO
Details:
- When: 6.30 PM, Monday, 16th August, 2010
- Where: Pugg Mahones, 171–175 Elgin St, Carlton
(head about 400 metres past the Earth Sciences building along Elgin St, away from Uni)
All are welcome: we had at least sixty people show up to the previous Physics at the Pub, Can Physics Save the World? and had a great discussion.
There are also some other great National Science Week events running next week, so check out the website and go see some great science.
Also, if you’re around the University on Sunday, remember the PSS will be at the University of Melbourne Open Day, so drop round, say hello and see our awesome demo of the Meissner effect.
