From the sci-fi world of Arrival to the quantum behavior of atoms, this interactive discussion with Dr. Heather Lewandowski explores how ideas about information, uncertainty, and measurement shape our understanding of the physical universe.
Lecture 6:00 PM; Film Screening 7:00 PM
This event is FREE for Dairy Arts Center Members as part of the Science on Screen® series
About Dr. Heather Lewandowski
Heather Lewandowski is a professor of physics and Fellow of JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder. She leads two research programs, one in experimental molecular physics and the other in physics education research. Her molecular physics research efforts focus on studying interactions and reactions of cold, chemically important molecules and ions. Her physics education research program studies ways to increase students’ proficiency in experimental scientific practices, as well as research in quantum science education and workforce development. She earned her B.S. in physics from Michigan Technological University and her Ph.D. from the University of Colorado Boulder. She later completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
About Arrival
Taking place after alien crafts land around the world, an expert linguist is recruited by the military to determine whether they come in peace or are a threat. (Denis Villeneuve, 2016, Canada | United States, 1:56, PG-13)
