All Trinity members – Fellows, Past Fellows, students, alumni very welcome

On Friday 6 November 2020 at 7pm we will meet in central Tokyo.

Professor Didier Queloz, the most recent Trinity Fellow to be awarded the Nobel Prize, has very generously agreed to hold a video discussion with us.

Didier is astronomer, and has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2019 for “the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star”

If you like to ask Professor Didier Queloz questions during our video discussions, best would be if you prepare the questions beforehand, so I can moderate the discussion to make the best use of Didier’s time.

This and our other discussions are published on Trinity in Japan’s YouTube channel
