Virginia Trimble, from the University of California, was the
guest speaker at this year's Robert Resnick Lecture. The
lecture, put on by the department of physics, applied physics,
and astromomy, is in its ninth year.
The lecture series is named in honor of Robert
Resnick, professor emeritus of physics and the Edward P.
Hamilton Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Science Education
at Rensselaer. Resnick, who wrote the premier text series for
undergraduate physics, authored or co-authored seven textbooks
still used throughout the world.
Resnick was on hand to introduce Trimble. Her talk was
entitled, "Cosmology: Man's Place in the Universe."
