The Great Debate - Monday, Nov. 5
Join us this Monday as we welcome some of the world’s greatest minds in ocean science and space exploration to campus for The Great Debate: a fun and engaging debate inspired by the question, “What is the next frontier: space or the ocean?” Dal alumna Kathryn Sullivan (PhD’78), former NASA astronaut, will be joined by test pilot and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk and Canadian astrophysicist Christian Marois on the team representing space. Mark Abbott, president and director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, German marine biologist Antje Boetius and Dal’s own Boris Worm join forces on the ocean side. Well-known author, speaker and TV science broadcaster Jay Ingram of Daily Planet fame will serve as MC.
Admission is free, but registration is required.Register today.
