In line with World Space Week, NYU Abu Dhabi’s (NYUAD) Center for Genomics and Systems Biology (CGSB) will soon host Living with a Star — a talk that will discuss the anatomy of the sun and its impact on the earth’s climate and space instrumentation. It will also shed light on violent solar eruptions and mysteriously long-lived sunspots, all taken by NASA’s impressive billion-dollar satellite, the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
Taking place on Tuesday, October 8 from 5-7 pm in NYUAD’s Experimental Research Building (ERB) Café, Living with a Star will be led by Co-Principal Investigator at NYUAD’s Center for Space Science Shravan Hanasoge. Interested participants can register via nyuad.cgsb@nyu.edu; seats are limited.
This is the first of the year in the series of Fikret Science Club talks — a program that is driven towards promoting an understanding of the scientific world to the Abu Dhabi community. The program covers various topics pertaining to conservation of cultural heritage through science, biological rhythms and mood, climate change and environmental adaptation, and science in society, among others.
Fikret Science Club is open to both established science enthusiasts and those curious to learn more. Details on the upcoming discussion will soon be announced on @nyuad_cgsb_ar via its Instagram page.
