Talk 1:
Time: What even IS that?
by: Anna Bjornson

Time seems intuitive and obvious, but can we accurately define it? We go about our daily lives with certain assumptions and beliefs about the nature of time...but many of them are wrong. Time is not what we think it is.

Talk 2:
Rainbows all the way: Where is the third rainbow?
by: Senne Van Loon

Everyone loves rainbows. If you're lucky, you might even have seen a double rainbow. But where is the third rainbow? In this talk, you will learn all about the physics of rainbows and how there are an infinite number of them.
