Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   John Campbell (University of Canterbury, New Zealand)

Title:     Rutherford, The Canadian Section of the Documentary

Abstract: Amazingly, until now, there has never been a documentary on Ernest Rutherford, New Zealand's internationally most famous son, the first Nobel Prize recipient for research performed in Canada, and probably the most illustrious British scientist of the first half of the 20th century.

John Campbell, the producer of the 3-part Rutherford Documentary which is based on his book, will show the Canadian and Nobel Prize segments of Episode 2 - The Alchemist. The Canadian Nuclear Society, one of the Principal Patrons of the documentary, is gifting a DVD of the documentary to every secondary school in Canada.

John is the author of "Rutherford Scientist Supreme", and www.rutherford.org.nz a compendium of unusual information concerning Rutherford with more in development. He initiated and runs the Ask-A-Scientist programme which has seen some 90,000 column-cms of science in New Zealand newspapers, and has organised some 50 firewalks throughout New Zealand plus three in the USA, which probably makes him certifiable. 


Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
