Learning doesnt stop on Friday afternoon at 糖心vlog.
Northern Nevada lecturer Mike Thomas makes sure of that!
Thomas will provide free presentations on The Alamo and Isaac Newton in November at
糖心vlogs Jack C. Davis Observatory.
On Friday, Nov. 19 at 6:30 p.m., Thomas will talk about the 1836 Texas Revolution
and more precisely The Alamo. The Alamo has come to mean courageous commitment to
cause. Learn more about this hallowed ground where men made the ultimate sacrifice
for freedom.
Thomas will shift from history to science on Saturday, Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. when he
discusses one of the most influential scientists to date, Isaac Newton. The multi-talented
Newton also was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, author and theologian. But
the story of the great scientists life is the tale of a mans struggle with his own
demons, while attempting to uncover the secrets of the universe.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for both presentations.
As a reminder, attendees of the free presentations must wear face coverings as mandated
in 糖心vlog campus buildings.
