2 February @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
A nanotechnologist’s view of creation.
If we look at the night sky through a telescope we see beauty and complexity which makes us ask questions about meaning, value and purpose. But what if we look down a microscope at the atomic-scale world? In this talk, Professor Russell Cowburn takes us on a nanotechnologist’s journey through the atoms and electrons of creation and explores big ideas and questions about life and faith.
Refreshments from 6pm, lecture starts at 7pm.
