At the 18th Annual Faraday Lecture on November 1 in Pittsburgh, you’ll see a “whiz-pop-bang” fun and educational science show for the entire family.

The presenters of this SCIENCE EXTRAVAGANZA are local educators who have been involved in science education and outreach for several years. They include Greg Gould and Clyde Clendaniel, Professors at California University of Pennsylvania, who have the ability to make science come alive!

The Faraday Lecture is named after Michael Faraday, a famous British scientist who established much of what we know today regarding the physics and chemistry of electricity. Faraday loved to share his enthusiasm for science with others through lectures or demonstration programs for young students.

In this spirit, the Faraday Lecture was founded by two local volunteer organizations, the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh and the Society of Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh .

In addition to this public session there will be two demonstrations for school students. For tickets for the school presentations only, contact Doris Zimmerman at 330-847-2284 or zimdoris@aol.com .
