John-percy-13-11-25On Wednesday December 4, University of Toronto Professor Emeritus Dr. John Percy will give a public lecture at the North York Central Library. His topic: Toronto's Astronomical Heritage.

This is the last talk in TPL's fall 2013 Thought Exchange series Science in History, presented in partnership with University of Toronto Science Engagement.

Dr. Percy is a distinguished scientist who feels strongly about the importance of public engagement in science. In a recent profile in UofT News he discussed why he believes it is important that universities engage in science outreach initiatives. He also gave a preview of his December 4 talk, which is based on his popular Heritage Toronto walking tour of astronomical sites on and around the University of Toronto campus.

Join us at the North York Central Library at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, December 4 for an engaging evening with Dr. John Percy.
