Talk Science

with

Astrophysicist

Phil Marshall

Dr Marshall and student volunteers use a table cloth and a bowling ball to create a black hole.

Kids, sponsors, escorts and workshop volunteers are invited to an ice cream social on the lawn in front of the breezeway of Panofsky Auditorium at 2:30, just after the last workshop is over. There will be an opportunity to relax and re-energize before the final, fun, science talk. 

Dr. Phil Marshall, an astrophysicist, will give a science talk. Dr Marshall is from Cambridge, England where he studied physics and astrophysics. He is now at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) at SLAC. Dr. Marshall will use things from our everyday life to explain

• black holes,

• fundamental forces, and

• other bits of "difficult" physics.

This is what we do at SLAC, ask ourselves questions and come up with clean, simple models to explain the world around us. Relax, open up and use your imagination!
