Tuesday, November 17 at 6:30pm, we welcome Dr. J. Brian Pitts, a cosmologist and philosopher of science affiliated with Mohamed bin Zayed University and the University of Cambridge. He will give a public lecture about the expansion of our Universe.

This talk will inaugurate the Corey Sargent Memorial Lecture Series in Astrophysics and Cosmology. The series honors Corey’s memory and gives our growing community of astrophysics majors a chance to hear directly from researchers working on the questions that drew them to the field.

Dr. Pitts’s work spans physics and philosophy, and are co-hosting his visit with ODU’s Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies.

Free and open to the public!
