Abstract
Our next talk will be from Chruchill’s master and Fellow of the Royal Society, Dame Athene Donald.
Dame Athene has been a pioneer in the field of ‘soft matter physics’, most notably for her work relating mechanical properties to the structure of polymers. She has also researched a way in which to use an electron microscope to image things containing water – a huge advancement for both physics and biology. Dame Athene also is very prominent in promoting gender-equality within the university and in physics.
As usual the talk will be ÂŖ2 entry, but you can buy membership on the night for a great-value ÂŖ15. There will be plenty of wine and cheese afterwards, and a chance to chat to Dame Athene.
So join us on Tuesday for another inspirational talk!
Series This talk is part of the SciSoc â Cambridge University Scientific Society series.
