Which things are things made of?
Saturday, December 12th 2020, Ivo de Medeiros Varzielas, researcher at Centre for Theoretical Particle Physics (CFTP( will help us answer this question.
Please send us your questions ahead of time to explicame@tecnico.ulisboa.pt or join us live on Facebook.
“Explain it like I’m 5 – talks at Técnico for children and other curious people of all ages” is designed for young people opening a door to get to know Técnico research and the possibility to ask our scientists a question- even at a distance. Older people can come as well, if the children let them.
Saturdays, every two weeks, live on Facebook. The talks can be watched later.
