Food for thought. TEAtime public lectures at University of Southampton.
Space tourism is no longer something only seen in Sci-Fi movies. In the first TEAtime lecture on Thursday 21st October, Dr Angelo Grubisic from the University of Southampton will discuss the effects of space on the human body and a brief history of space travel. Lecture attendees will also have the chance to experience the effects of zero-gravity to prepare you for your journey into space!
Dr Grubisic has worked for NASA and was in the shortlist to be the UK's first astronaut. Angelo has recently completed his PhD on developing and testing new kinds of highly fuel-efficient plasma rocket engines. His research contributes to the launching satellites and shuttles into space.
This lecture forms part of TEAtime public lecture series, aimed at connecting fundamental content of maths and science to current research being undertaken at University of Southampton.
Professor William Powrie, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering & Environment, comments ‘the TEAtime lecture series is a wonderful opportunity for those interested in science, maths or engineering to gain an understanding of the innovative and world-leading research undertaken at University of Southampton.'
The lecture begins at 18.00 finishing at 19.00. Booking is required - please visit www.soton.ac.uk/ses/outreach or telephone 02380 59 8710 for further information.
