*The School of Physics and Faculty of Science and Engineering at Queen
Mary, University of London would like to invite you to the upcoming
lecture on our Mile End campus:
'Write here, Write now' by Marcus Chown
6.00 pm, 19th May
*
From having a peanut butter sandwich coughed over him on his first day
as a journalist to lecturing to an audience of half a person; from
performing on a glass-bottomed boat in a shark tank to demonstrating
gravity on TV with a bucket of maggots. Come and hear Marcus Chown,
ex-Queen Mary student and author, talk about how he got from Mile End
Road to where he is right now.
Marcus Chown is an award-winning writer and broadcaster. Currently
cosmology consultant of “New Scientist”, he has written a number of
books, including “We Need to Talk About Kelvin” (short-listed for the
2010 Science Book Prize), “Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You” and “Felicity
Frobisher and the Three-Headed Aldebaran Dust Devil”. His most recent
project is “Solar System for iPad”, which recently won best App at the
FutureBook Digital Innovation awards and was used by Steve Jobs to
launch Apple's iPad 2.
The event is free to attend and you can book online: http://bit.ly/Chown
Please pass onto any interested colleagues.
Kind Regards,
Laura
