About The Science of Star Trek with Dr. Erin Macdonald
The future begins here. In this special David Elder Lecture taking place in the IMAX at Glasgow Science Centre, we are delighted to welcome astrophysicist and science advisor to the Star Trek franchise, Dr Erin Macdonald.
Join us on the evening of 19 July for Dr Macdonald's talk on 'The Science of Star Trek' for a look at famous fictional technologies such as warp drives, transporters, and replicators while explaining some of the science behind them. Erin will also share a little of how she ended up working as the first woman science advisor for this franchise, and share some of her favourite behind-the-scenes stories.
The talk is followed by a Q&A with Erin, and then sit back and relax for a special screening on Scotland's BIGGEST screen of the 2009, J.J. Abrams' directed film, Star Trek in IMAX 2D.
The talk from Dr Macdonald lasts approximately 45 minutes with 15 minutes for Q&A. It is best suited to older teenagers (aged 16 years+) and adults.
Glasgow Science Centre is proud to host the David Elder Lectures in partnership with the University of Strathclyde's Department of Physics.
