The SUPA Cormack Astronomy Meeting will take place at the Wolfson Medical School Building from the University of Glasgow on December 5th, 2023 (see information below regarding access and location). The meeting is organised by scientists at the Universities of Dundee, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, and supported by the RSE. It is aimed at bringing together cosmologists, astrophysicists and solar physicists from all around Scotland, from early-career scientists and students, to more senior members.
The RAS John Brown Lecture will take place in the same evening and venue. Prof. Randall Stevenson will talk about ‘Celestial Visitants – Comets and Culture in the Nineteenth Century and Beyond’, starting at 5pm, but please note that if you want to attend the lecture, you need to sign up separately using the link below.
