Philip Nelson is a Professor of Biophysics at the University of
Pennsylvania. His stimulating talk will focus on the intersection of
physical light and retinal perception. While this is not a talk
about the Skyspace, experiencing it has led many of us to wonder more
deeply about visual perception. Dr. Nelson will explore how the
question, "What is light?" leads us to deeper understanding of how we
see, and also to some powerful new ways to see things. Dr Nelson is
a widely published authority in his field who also wins kudos as a
teacher able to make his subject relatable to the lay public. This is
a speaker presentation / fund raiser. Please reserve your spot
on-line as we have limited seating capacity. You may donate online
when you reserve a ticket (if using a credit card we must ask for a
minimum $10 contribution). OR, give what you wish at the door where
we accept cash and checks, but NOT credit cards. 100% of your
donation is tax deductible and goes to support the Skyspace operation
and maintenance fund. It does NOT include a Skyspace viewing.
