[local physicists] W&M Saturday Morning Physics: "Guesstimation"

[Wouter Deconinck]

Dear science enthusiast,

The next lecture in the Saturday Morning Physics lecture series of the
Department of Physics at the College of William & Mary will take place
on Saturday March 23.  The lectures in this series are aimed at anyone
with an interest in science (and high school students are in
particular encouraged to attend).

  "Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on a Cocktail Napkin"
  Saturday March 23, Prof. Larry Weinstein (ODU)
  https://events.wm.edu/event/details/652/22132

Why don't we all drive electric cars? Does it matter if you don't
recycle that plastic water bottle? How can we answer these questions
without relying on experts? This talk by Prof. Larry Weinstein of Old
Dominion University will cover the principles of estimating.

The lecture will start at 11am in the Small Hall building at the
College of William & Mary. Admission is free, and free parking is
vailable in the lot along Jamestown Road.
