Description
Roger Highfield, Science Editor, The Daily Telegraph will present the 2007 Christmas Demonstration lecture.
Biography: Roger Highfield is the science editor of the Daily Telegraph in London. Highfield loves science, and he loves Christmas, too. Combining the two in his book, ‘Can Reindeer Fly?’ he refutes the notion that ‘the materialist insights of science destroy our capacity to wonder, leaving the world a more boring and predictable place.’ To that end, Highfield presents an amusing, eclectric, and trivia filled collection of scientific observations about one of the world’s most beloved holidays.
A post lecture drinks and mince pies reception will follow the lecture.
