Message from Prof Rachel Falconer (Sheffield University)
The arts, social sciences and sciences collide in a series of provocative talks beginning in March and continuing through into June.
Arts-Science Encounters 2009 brings together researchers from across the University’s five faculties and recognised external speakers. The topics are range from Chemistry, Fashion Design, Literature and Law, to Music, Neuroscience and Physics. Speakers from more than twenty disciplines will be joined by guest speakers and soloists including Darwin's great-great grand-daughter Ruth Padel, former Lindsay Quartet cellist Bernard Gregor-Smith, and science writers Richard Holmes and Denis Noble.
Whether it is hearing Tony Ryan and fashion designer Helen Storey talk about disappearing dresses, or listening to CERN physicist Dan Tovey on the origin of the universe, there will be an event to make you think and marvel.
The first three events in March are:
