Where is the line drawn between 20th century science fiction and 21st century science fact? Back for its 16th rendition, the ASX Annual Symposium is planning on answering that question by featuring three masters of both fact and fiction. On February 28th, join Dr. Catherine Asaro, Dr. John G. Cramer, and Dr. Geoffrey A. Landis -- scientists and science fictions writers all -- on a fantastical odyssey through wormholes and to the very frontiers of extraplanetary colonisation.
Admission is free for all students -- of any institution -- with Photo ID (still be sure to reserve a seat), and $10 otherwise. Refreshments shall be provided. Tickets are on sale online and will be available at the door.
