Neutrinos, Photonics, and Life in Space: NSF Speakers Bring Physical Sciences to Life

Why study neutrinos? What are photonics? How are computers changing the teaching environment?

The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites media and members of the public to a series of lectures sponsored by the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The talks address a broad range of topics that will challenge researchers and contribute to the nation's science and technology base in the coming years.

All lectures will be held from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. in room 375 at NSF, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. No pre-registration is necessary.
