Three....two....one!
The university has a lot to offer to the community
both in terms of education but just as entertainment
as well.
So this is both.
Tonight is the 7th annual Christmas Faraday
lecture and we started joining this tradition,
these lectures are going on at other universities
too.
While the tuxedo is the initial tradition,
when Michael Faraday started doing these experiments,
he was dressed in a tuxedo.
We think it's a cool thing although we never
get a chance to wear tuxedoes in the classrooms.
We just like to show Stocktonians some fun
science.
We try to do some fun experiments to our local
community students to teach the kids a little
bit of fun chemistry, first of all to get
them interested in science and the natural
sciences, and also learn about the university.
Hopefully they can get interested in the background
behind these experiments, and then eventually
will attract them to the STEM research or
the STEM education in college.
