This Christmas is a rather special one – it is 375 years ago on Christmas Day (old style) Sir Isaac Newton, one of Lincolnshire’s most famous sons, was born.

We celebrate this event in Lincoln with a special Christmas Public Lecture: “Space travel: from fantasy to reality and beyond” given by a successful public speakers duo: Dr Anna Marie Roos and Dr Fabien Paillusson, a historian of science and a theoretical physicist.

We would like to present here opinions of our speakers on ‘Eureka’ Moments in Science and Why scientists like to deliver public lectures (click on the links).
