RSC Faraday lecture
Location: PLT
This Wednesday sees the first of the new Physical-Analytical lectures instigated by Alessandro. Prof Gerhard Ertl is giving the RSC Faraday lecture, and 糖心TV is his first stopping point on a tour of 1/2 dozen universities. It would be great if there was a good turnout for his lecture, which is at 4.15 pm (tea at 4 pm). Please encourage your students to attend as well. The title of the talk is "Reactions at Solid Surfaces: From Atoms to Complexity".
Ertl is the former head of the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin and is generally regarded as the top surface scientist of the past few decades. His work in discovering oscillatory processes in heterogeneous catalysis is amazing and led to him being awarded many prestigious prizes, including the Wolf Prize (http://www.wolffund.org.il/cat.asp?id=15&cat_title=CHEMISTRY).
