Dr Ellen Stofan, "A Journey to Mars", CaSE Annual Lecture


I attended and helped to live tweet the Campaign for Science and Engineering’s 24th Annual Distinguished Lecture, "A Journey to Mars", by Dr Ellen Stofan, NASA’s Chief Scientist.


The event was fully booked, and a reception afterwards allowed me to meet Dr Ellen Stofan and NASA's Chief Technologist, David Miller, who kindly gave me an MSL Curiosity pin badge!

The audio of the event and further information can be found on these blogs by CaSE and the Science Museum.
