Dr. David Dearborn, scientist at Lawrence Livermore Lab, talks on “Avoiding Armageddon: Diverting Asteroids with Nuclear Explosives,” taking a look at the asteroid impact threat to earth and the development of the ability to divert such objects through nuclear explosives.
The first annual Bay Area Science Festival—October 29-November 6, 2011—brings together an unprecedented brain trust of the region’s scientific and educational partners to produce one of the largest science-based events ever held in the United States. Featuring more than 100 fun, interactive science and technology events at local venues from Oakland to Orinda, Santa Rosa to San Mateo, San Francisco to San Jose, the Bay Area Science Festival includes provocative lectures, hands-on activities, exhibitions, tours of cutting-edge facilities, guided hikes and neighborhood stargazing. Events, dates and times are subject to change.
The Bay Area Science Festival also presents Science Discovery Day in the North Bay at Infineon Raceway on Saturday, November 5 from 11am to 4pm; and in San Francisco at AT&T Park on Sunday, November 6 from 11am to 4pm. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.bayareascience.org
