Presentation by Astrophysicist Clare Kenyon

On Wednesday last week, a group of students attended a Science Trivia event with Sydney Grammar students, and watched a presentation by the well-known astrophysicist Clare Kenyon. In Clare’s presentation, she discussed the winding pathway her career had taken, and inspired the girls to pursue their interests and dreams. She discussed the amazing work that scientists completed in order to build the James Webb Space Telescope and how scientists had to modify and adapt plans, technology and thinking over the 30 year time period in which the telescope was discussed, designed and built. It was an energetic and motivating presentation.
