Professor David McKinnon invites you to attend

Science Unshackled

A Silver Jubilee Public Lecture with Professor C. Renee James
Why in the world are we paying for all this "basic" research? The answer to this question becomes clear in this romp through the "seemingly useless" world of pure science, where one thing leads to another in ways that result in major scientific advancements.

With a humorous style, Dr James will unpack the science to reveal how obscure studies of natural phenomena, including curved space-time, poisonous cone snails, exploding black holes, and the precise chemical makeup of the sun, led unexpectedly to WiFi, GPS, genetic sequencing, pain medications, and cancer treatments.

Science Unshackled brings both science and scientists to life and shows how simple curiosity can result in life-changing breakthroughs.
