The Physics Students’ Society invites you to come and join your fellow geeks (and friends of geeks) at Pugg Mahones in Carlton for another lively panel discussion on Physics and its role in the world around us – this time focusing on the role that Science has to play in our society, its weight and representation in Australia’s political system and its portrayal in the media.
The panel will include:
- Andi Horvath — Curator and Science Communicator, Museum Victoria
- Roger Rassool — Experimental Particle Physics Group, University of Melbourne
- Ken Winkle — Director, Australian Venom Research Unit
- Meredith Doig — President, Rationalist Society of Australia
Drag your assignment-sodden… bags… and meet us upstairs at 6:30 to order your parmas, pots and pints (or even jugs, for those so-inclined), to begin the panel discussion at around 7:00.
Just to clarify, the where-and-when:
Where: Pugg Mahones, 171-175 Elgin st Carlton
Date: Monday, May 16th 2011
Time: Begins at 6:30PM
Cost: Free entry. You will need to cover the cost of your own food & drink
All welcome, so bring your friends.
Our Physics in the Pub events are usually quite well attended, and they provide an aspect of personality and real-world insight into the physics that we study every day; so if you haven’t attended before we highly recommend you give it a go!
