Greetings once again fellow nerdlings!!! And boy do we have a nerdy treat for you!!! For the month of March, our guest speaker is traveling all the way across an ocean to visit Milwaukee and bestow scientific nerdiness upon us.
Please join us to hear Dr. Vincent Smith, particle physicist from the University of Bristol, as he describes the world and our knowledge of Physics, at the time of Einstein's birth, and then looks in some detail at Einstein's three famous contributions in 1905 (the explanation of Brownian Motion, of the Photo-electric effect, and Special Relativity), which laid the foundations for 20th Century Physics.

Dr. Smith's research is in Elementary Particle Physics. He has taken part in experiments at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) and Fermilab (Illinois, USA). His particular interest is in Weak Interactions, especially the properties of short-lived strange particles known as Hyperons. He is currently a member of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
This is going to be a pretty epic talk, so be sure to mark your calendars, and tell your family and friends!!! Hope to see you there!!!
