Join us for a deep dive into the world of the Northern Lights and the mysteries of space weather!

Professor Minna Palmroth’s lecture will among other things reveal what the Northern Lights can tell us about the current state of space. The event concludes with the documentary Fire in the Sky (2019).

The event is part of the Night of Science programme. Free admission!

A mix of material, social, and intellectual factors make scientific insights possible. Yet, the historical and social aspects of creativity often take a backseat to the idea of individual brilliance, perpetuated not least by the scientists themselves. In this discussion, we will explore examples of these preconditions and discuss how they change over time.

All our members are warmly welcome to attend an open lecture by President, Dr. Marcia McNutt from National Academy of Sciences (NAS) on “Policy for Public Good: Does Science Matter?”.

President McNutt will visit Finland by the invitation of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.
