How they ‘split the atom’ & brought the news to the world

To mark the 80th anniversary of the ‘splitting of the atom’, the Celsius research group at Dublin City University is pleased to invite you to an afternoon of science and culture in the Helix, DCU, on Friday 13th April.

Prof Brian Cathcart, Kingston University, London, author of ‘The Fly in the Cathedral’– how a small group of Cambridge scientists won the race to split the atom’ will reflect on how the news spread from the Cambridge laboratories at the time.
Prof Philip Walton, professor emeritus of physics, NUI Galway, will also speak about his father’s winning the Nobel Prize for Physics (1951), while Prof Dermot Diamond, DCU, will guide us through Flann O’Brien’s satirical treatments of the physics of his time.
The event will also have songs with a physics theme composed by mathematician‐and‐musician Tom Lehrer, performed by Charles Delap (vocals) and Fiachra Trench (piano).
