Tim Appenzeller
The Lewes Public Library’s Science and Society lecture series will welcome Science Magazine News Editor Tim Appenzeller at 5 p.m., Tuesday, March 2, for a live, online discussion of Science in the Time of COVID, via Zoom.
Appenzeller will present Science Magazine’s 10 Breakthroughs of the Year, highlighting hot areas of research at a time when COVID-19 disrupted the conduct of much of science. While the top pick was the development of a COVID-19 vaccine, other exciting breakthroughs include the solution to a longstanding cosmic mystery, new discoveries of avian intelligence, sharpened forecasts of global warming, and more. Appenzeller will discuss these developments and why they were selected, as well as the impact of the pandemic on scientific research.

In 1967, one of the world’s oldest particle accelerators, built in the 1930s, was sent from the University of Rochester, USA to be housed at Panjab University, Chandigarh. Invented by American nuclear scientist Ernest O. Lawrence in 1929–1930 at the University of California, Berkeley, this particular type of particle accelerator, also known as a cyclotron, is an apparatus in which charged atomic and subatomic particles are accelerated by an alternating electric field while following an outward spiral or circular path in a magnetic field. Cyclotrons are built on the same principles as more famous particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), but on a smaller scale, used not only for conducting experiments in nuclear physics but also f
