Fly me to the moon gala

23-06-2010

Weizmann UK hosted over 300 guests at its Making Connections gala dinner at The Science Museum, London. Keynote, Prof. Simon Schama CBE was joined by leading scientists from the Weizmann Institute and UK institutions.

Location: Science Museum, London

This stellar evening was the climactic event of our third Making Connections Symposium, on the theme of ‘The Cosmic Enigma: Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics’.  The Fly me to the moon gala provided a unique opportunity for our supporters to meet leading scientists in the fields of Astrophysics and Cosmology, who are working to expand the horizons of our knowledge about stars, galaxies, and the laws that govern their existence.

Many thanks again to all who attended and supported this wonderful event.
