18th Annual Samuel Scholes Jr. Lecture given by Sam Kean
The Division of Chemistry at Alfred University would like to announce the 18th Annual Samuel R.
Scholes Jr. Lecture to be given on Tuesday the 5th of April 2016 in the Nevins Theater at 8 p.m.
This year's lecture will be given by Sam Kean, author of the national best selling book "The Disappearing Spoon."
Why did Gandhi hate iodine? Why did the Japanese kill Godzilla with missiles made of cadmium? How did radium nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why did tellurium lead to the most bizarre gold rush in history? The Periodic Table is one of our crowning scientific achievements, but it's also a treasure trove of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession.
"The Disappearing Spoon" delves into every single element on the table and explains each one's role in science, money, mythology, war, the arts, medicine, alchemy, and other areas of human history, from the Big Bang through the end of time
This exciting and intellectual lecture is free and open to anyone interested in attending! We welcome everyone.
Contact Bailey Grillo for more information about this event at email [email protected]
