Attention STEM members, we have an upcoming meeting scheduled for Wednesday April 5th. Our speaker is Mark Richardson, who is the Education and Outreach Officer at the Arthur B. McDonald Institute, a Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research center. Mark was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he fell in love with the night skies. After completing a Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics at Saint Mary's University, he escaped the winter weather and did a PhD in Astrophysics at Arizona State University. He studies how galaxies form and change over time in an effort to understand our own place in the cosmos. Mark has since held research positions at Oxford University and the American Museum of Natural History in New York and joined Queen's University and the McDonald Institute in 2018. Note the start times: students with first lunch are to be dismissed at 11:15 and are to make their way to the lecture hall as soon as possible. Those with second lunch are to be dismissed at 12:35. This way our presenter will have plenty of time to discuss topics such as galaxy formation and dark matter.
Today’s special in the cafeteria will be Pulled Pork on a Bun with fries for $5.75. Don’t forget to redeem your golden ticket in the cafeteria. Have an awesome day, Lions!
