Today’s a great day for kids, with our annual science fair, with ‘Blow your Mind,’ an eye-popping and explosive family science show with Dr. Chris Smith, followed by an afternoon of science exhibits and fun on Discovery Walk and at the University Library.
In the evening, Dr. Smith joins us again for our evening keynote “Stripping Down Science,” where he shares his experiences as a pioneering science podcaster and gives his thoughts on how to communicate science to the wider world. This keynote is essential viewing for anyone who wants to communicate their ideas to audiences large or small.
