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.
