EVENT February 27, 2014 – Dr. Ania Harlick – “Are you watching closely? Perception of Physics and Physics of Perception”

The February WISE NL-Statoil Speaker Series lecture features Dr. Ania Harlick visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at MUN. Dr. Harlick will talk about the perception of science (physics in particular), and how it modifies and enriches the way we see the world. Physics is a way of seeing the world – from throwing a basketball, playing pool, stopping our car on a slippery surface, to observing the stars at night. It provides us with a tool to process and analyze the world around us. A tool, that perfectly accompanies all our senses and can be used anytime and anywhere. It gives us knowledge, wakes our curiosity and forces us to constantly ask “why” and “how”. She will also step through her career path sharing experiences, personal stories and learning along the way.

Join us February 27, 2014 from 6:30 – 9:30 pm at the Fluvarium. All are welcome and the event is free. For more information and to register please visit:
