Event Information:

Venture to the frontiers of modern physics with the Saturday Morning Lectures, proudly presented by TRIUMF, UBC & SFU

Saturday Morning Lectures is an all-ages public lecture series that explores the role of physics at the leading edge of science, from the infinitesimally small world within the atomic nucleus to the furthest reaches of the known Universe – and everything in between!

How do we study things we cannot see directly? From mapping the living human brain without surgery to detecting ghostly particles that traverse the Universe, modern science often relies on ingenious ways of uncovering the invisible.

Join us this Saturday, Nov. 7, for two fascinating talks at the Saturday Morning Lectures at the Surrey Library:

  • 10:30am Escaping Plato's Cave: Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Understand the Brain by Cariad Knight (UBC)
  • 11:40am Unveiling the High-Energy Unverse with Ghost Particles by Qinrui Liu (SFU)

These lectures will be held at the Surrey Library, City Centre Branch (Rm 120).
