The Bizarre world of Quantum Physics – by Adam Garley
Is it possible to be in two places at once? Can you send a message faster than the speed of light? Is teleportation fact or fiction? How can a cat be dead and alive at the same time? If you thought physics was something only bearded men in white coats could find interesting then think again! This short presentation will give you a taste into the wonderfully weird realm of quantum mechanics and that strange thing we call reality.
Adam Garley hails from Sussex, England and is on his second mission in Liberia, this time as Country Director for the French NGO Solidarites, implementing water, sanitation and hygiene programmes in the South-Eastern counties. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Philosophy from the University of Bristol which may sound cool but is of course totally useless in his chosen career. However, with its unrivalled status as the ultimate geek subject it was hard to resist doing a presentation for Nerd Nite.
Trolley Dolly – life as a waitress in the sky – by Teresa Dybeck
Where is the safest part of an airplane and do pilots and hostesses sleep together on night stops? Who is the worst kind of passenger and what is the weirdest request they can make? Take the opportunity to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask and impress your fellow travelers next time you fly.
Teresa Dybeck comes from the deep dark forests of Sweden and is in Liberia working for Action on Armed Violence setting up an armed violence monitoring system. Before going to university and embarking on a career in the field of security and development, she spent three years working as an air hostess based out of the UK and Sweden.
