“The incredible scientific pioneering life of Lord Kelvin”

Professor Martin-Torres FRSE will describe the life of William Thomson, known in history as Lord Kelvin (of the temperature scale). Thomson enrolled at the University of Edinburgh at just 10 years old. He had an insatiable curiosity and interdisciplinary approach to science leading him to explore diverse areas of inquiry – from thermodynamics, electromagnetism to geophysics and navigation and much more besides.
