SUMMARY:Its A Small World - Talk & Dinner
DESCRIPTION:It’s A Small World\nTalk & Dinner with Professor Rasmita Raval\nThursday 13th March 2025\, 6:30pm for 7:00pm\n£45.00 per ticket\, inclusive of reception drink and three-course dinner. \nHumans perceive and explain the world by what we can see. The beauty and the vastness of the Universe has been captured for centuries by astronomical telescopes. However\, there are worlds so small that they remained unseen and undiscovered until recently. Now\, remarkable technology has allowed us to explore these mysterious worlds at a scale we could not have previously imagined. \nThis talk will take us on an illustrated journey into this small world. We will see the smallest patterns in nature\, which have counterparts in Islamic and Western artwork. Equally fascinating is the discovery that these small worlds can exist in mirror forms and this small difference lies at the centre of an unsolved mystery on how life evolved on earth. We will also discover how humble bacteria come together to create communities that have a Jeckyll and Hyde existence\, delivering good health via the gut microbiome\, or causing chronic infections that are testing the last line of antibiotic defences \nProfessor Rasmita Raval is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool. She is also Director of the Surface Science Centre and Co-Director of The National Biofilm Centre. Rasmita is a regular visitor to the Athenaeum and will be known to many. She is passionate about science and communicating that science to the general public. \nReserve your place now via the Members’ Area or with the Concierge.
