    Description:

    Join us for a free event with our own Dr. Art McDonald. Starting at 7:00pm, Dr. McDonald will give an exciting talk about how we come to learn about the nature of the Universe by going deep underground, and how its history relies on various mysterious things like dark matter and neutrinos.

    Dr. Art McDonald is the Gordon and Patricia Gray Chair in Particle Astrophysics, emeritus, at ³ÉÈË´óƬ. He is also a co-recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics and the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Physics for the discovery that neutrinos have mass.

    The George and Maureen Ewan Lecture series was endowed by Queen’s Physics Professor George Ewan and his wife Maureen in 2018 to support seminar and lecture programs designed to increase scientific discourse and culture within the Particle Astrophysics community at Queen’s University and the broader Kingston community.

    This mask-friendly event is free and for all ages. We will have ASL interpreters present at the event. Please let us know if there are other ways we can reduce barriers to your participation. Feel free to reach out to outreach@mcdonaldinstitute.ca if you have any questions or accommodation requests.
