Come get your nerd on and learn about the world of physics with Nerd Nite KW! They will take you through quantum 101, and then see if you were paying attention with some friendly rounds of trivia. Aspiring scientists and experts alike are welcome. Special guest speaker Dr. Shohini Ghose, an Associate Professor of Physics and Computer Science and Director of the Centre for Women in Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, will also be giving a presentation. Make sure to also check out QUANTUM: The Exhibition while you're there.
Much of what we understand about the world comes from our eyes, which sense the colors from red to violet that are expressed in the rainbow.
