Claudia Maraston held two public lectures on December 11 at 4.30pm and 6.30pm at the Winchester Science Center (previously Intech) in Winchester, entitled “Shining Galaxies in a Dark Universe”. Both lectures were well attended, especially the evening’s one, which featured a nearly full theatre with over 140 attendees. Many young students and teachers were present (see pictures) who judged the lecture ‘inspirational’. Several expressed interest to spend their student placement at the ICG to work as real scientists.
