Wed, April 3, 2024: "Total Solar Eclipse: How We Think" panel:

The way a human mind works, one trained to view an image or an occurrence in a specific way, is fascinating. What does a poet, an astronautical engineer, a planetary scientist or an astrophysicist think about when they see a solar eclipse?

The faculty assembled for this panel will each talk for 10 minutes about their perspectives on an image of a total solar eclipse, then take questions. Join us to gain unusual insights on a total eclipse of the sun.

This event is organized by the graduate students in  Leading Women Toward Space Careers, a  John Martinson Honors College program.

Free of charge and open to the public. Reserve your seat today!

• When: Wednesday, April 3, 5:15 – 6:15 PM ET
• Where: HCRN, Honors Hall (1101 First Street, West Lafayette)
• Panelists:  Ali Bramson, Kathleen Howell,  Donald Platt,  Abigail Polin
