"Our Expanding Universe"

Jim Peebles
Princeton

Join us for a free event welcoming Dr. Jim Peebles, the 2019 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, back to Kingston and Canada. Light refreshments will be served from 6:30 and then Dr. Peebles with give an enlightening talk about our place in the expanding cosmos, and how we've come to understand that the Universe has this surprising behaviour.

George & Maureen Ewan Lecture Series

This talk is part of the George & Maureen Ewan Lecture Series. Dr. Ewan focused on nuclear physics and sub-atomic research, particularly the solar neutrino problem as a co-founder of the Nobel Prize-winning Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) experiment. With his work recognized at the highest level, Dr. Ewan pushed ahead with a goal of influencing the next generation of scientists here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, remarking that 카지노 게임 컬렉션�it is vital that we scientists make our work accessible to the general public.카지노 게임 컬렉션� His wife, Maureen, agreed, saying 카지노 게임 컬렉션�his work is so remote from what most people would find comprehensible.카지노 게임 컬렉션� Effective communication skills are vital to successful research. As he put it, scientists have so much of value to share with the world. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�As a rule, scientists don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t inform the educated public, there are people who work on exciting experiments who could give very good talks. My dream is to have them come to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s to give lectures on the state of their experiments and especially about their results, and to do it in a way that people without PhDs can understand.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

This is why Dr. Ewan and his wife decided to donate $100,000 to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s to create the George & Maureen Ewan Lecture Series, which will support seminar and lecture programs designed to increase scientific discourse and culture within the Particle Astrophysics community at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트.

Dr. Ewan카지노 게임 컬렉션�s gift gives the department access to $10,000 a year until the fund is depleted. A $10,000 annual budget will make it possible for the department to look farther afield for guest lecturers and host them for a longer stay. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The idea is to have the guest lecturers stay for a while and spend some quality time with the students, interacting with them and working with them in the labs,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Tony Noble, former SNOLAB director and the current Scientific Director of the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute.

The McDonald Institute and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 are very excited about the opportunities offered by The Ewans카지노 게임 컬렉션� generous endowment, and look forward to organizing public lectures that will benefit researchers in the Physics department, and the wider Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and Kingston communities!
