As part of the Unveiling the Universe lecture series, once again join Science World and TRIUMF with the Association of Italian Professionals and Researchers in Western Canada (ARPICO) for an evening of science, philosophy and history, this time with award-winning author Professor Gino Segrè on Tuesday, November 20, at 6:30pm at TELUS World of Science.

Gino Segrè is a physics professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of three popular science books, including "Faust in Copenhagen". He was the winner of the American Institute of Physics Award for Best Science Writing­­­­­­­­­. His lecture, entitled "Physics in Florence from Galileo to the Higgs Boson", will chart the history of physics as it grew from the influence of Galileo, his disciples, and the spirit of exploration in 17th century Florence, to the present day, with the most recent dramatic example being the discovery of the Higgs boson.

Gino Segrè is also the nephew of 1959 Nobel Laureate Emilio Segrè, and will be introduced by Ms. Olivia Fermi, granddaughter of 1938 Nobel Laureate Enrico Fermi.

The lecture will begin at 6:30pm in the Science Theatre at TELUS World of Science, followed by a question and answer period. Tickets are free, but registration is required. Doors open at 5:45pm. Ticket holders, please print and bring your ticket to the event. Guests on the waitlist will be notified if additional seating becomes available.

This event is co-presented by TRIUMF, Science World British Columbia, and ARPICO with the generous sponsorship of the Embassy of Italy in Ottawa and the CMC Engineering Group.
