A lecture by Nobel-prize winner Professor Art McDonald on how we learn about the Universe by going deep underground.
Join us for this free event where Dr. McDonald will give the Ewan Lecture about how we learn about 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.
