As you may be aware, the Nova Scotian Institute of Science (NSIS) is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. The Institute has a long history of promoting science to Nova Scotians. Many of its early members were key contributors to the development of science in the province, the region, and the nation.
The NSIS is pleased to send you this reminder of a free public anniversary lecture and reception, co_sponsored by the Institute and by the History of Science and Technology programme at the University of King’s College:
