July 18, 2010 by Dave Leave a Comment

Omsi Science PubOMSI’s Science Pub event for July 2010 takes place this Tuesday the 20th at the Mission Theater (1624 NW Glisan).

Join us to see the world in a “new light.” John Lester Miller (a.k.a. Dr. Strangephoton) will give an energetic presentation on the history, phenomenology, and applications of infrared imaging. The evening starts with Hershel’s discovery of infrared light in 1800 and traces the fascinating story to modern day astronomy, military, law enforcement, and commercial applications. The talk will be augmented with numerous infrared video clips, images, and a live infrared camera.

The presenter, John Lester Miller, has designed and developed infrared systems for astronomy, commercial, and military applications for three decades. He currently works for Wilsonville based Flir Systems.

Science Pub runs from 7 to 9pm, but arrive early (5pm doors open) to secure your beer, grub, and a seat! There’s a $3.00 suggested donation/cover charge.
