This Saturday, take a journey to the center of the earth to learn about the physics and chemistry that take place at high pressures deep within our planet. Come listen to Geology and Geophysics Professor Kanani Lee as she describes how her experimental exploration of extremes in the lab has produced new insights into planetary evolution, discovered exotic new materials, and identified the possibility of diamond core planets.
Science Saturdays is an award-winning lecture series designed for families that brings the excitement of research and the passion of scientists to the community. Each event involves a lecture by a Yale professor and hands-on science demonstrations run by Yale College students. This weekend will feature an inflatable planetarium and robots from Hill Regional Career High School's robotics team! Bring the whole family! Refreshments will be served. Free parking is available at the Sachem-Prospect Garage on Prospect Street. Entrance to the garage is in the Yale Ingalls Ice Rink lot. For more event information go to: www.yale.edu/scienceoutreach
