A Joint Event with Berkeley

The Berkeley Club of Singapore will be hosting a free public lecture event, featuring the University of California, Berkeley’s esteemed Nobel Laureate, Dr George Smoot III in our coming year-end event.

Dr George Smoot, 2006 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, is an active researcher in astrophysics and cosmology. As one of the first astrophysicists to devise experiments that produce data and information about the early universe, his Nobel Prize winning research won over many skeptics and validated the Big Bang Theory. His research has also been published in a popular book “Wrinkles in Time”, written for the general audience.

In this public lecture, “The Road to Nobel”, Dr Smoot will talk about his personal journey to receiving a Nobel Prize and elaborate on the significance of his research into understanding the origins of our universe. The lecture will prove to be inspiring for all learners of science and fascinating even for cosmology dabblers.

Berkeley welcomes Stanford Club members to join us at the event. Please email theroadtonobel@gmail.com to indicate your attendance. Due to space constraints, entrance will be on a first come first serve basis on the event day.
