Physicist and adventurer Francis Slakey

The department of physics and astronomy will host a lecture this week with Georgetown University's Francis Slakey:

Slakey will describe the decade-long journey that led him to become the first person to summit the highest mountain on every continent and surf every ocean during a University of Georgia lecture on Oct. 11 at 4 p.m. in room 202 of the physics building.

 

Slakey's talk, "Science and the Journey of Extremes," is hosted by the department of physics and astronomy in the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and is free and open to the public.

As the co-director of the Program in Science in the Public Interest at Georgetown, Slakey brings an unsual variety of expertise to campus for a public lecture. This one should be good.
