Silas Peirce Lecture: Following the Water on Mars: Roving with Curiosity

Join Bethany Elhmann, Assistant Professor of Planetary Science at
California Institute of Technology, as she presents the first annual
College of Arts & Sciences Silas Peirce Lecture.

The Curiosity rover represents the latest chapter in NASA's exploration
of Mars. It was designed to assess whether Mars ever had an environment
able to support small life forms called microbes. The rover's onboard
laboratory is studying the rocks and soil it encounters to search for
the chemical building blocks of life on Mars, revealing what the Martian 
environment was like in the past. Professor Ehlmann, a member of the 
intrepid rover's science team, will describe why Curiosity was sent to 
Mars and what it has found since landing 18 months ago.

*When:* 	Monday, February 24, 2014 7pm

Boston, MA
*Price:* 	Complimentary
