About Me

Science communication is important in today's technologically advanced society. A good part of the adult community is not science savvy and lacks the background to make sense of rapidly changing technology. My blog attempts to help by publishing articles of general interest in an easy to read and understand format without using mathematics. You can contact me at ektalks@yahoo.co.uk

Talk on Life and Work of Albert Einstein at CLL, Strathclyde University, Scotland (November 2021)

 In the following, I am publishing the slides of my lectures on the Life and Work of Albert Einstein (via ZOOM) at the Centre for Lifelong Learning, Strathclyde University. I had an excellent audience who were motivated to learn about Einstein - one of the most brilliant minds of all times.

The slides detail the subject material as presented in the lectures (3 hours in total) - of course, details of my presentation/discussion are missing, but I hope this material will be useful in understanding the contribution that Einstein made in the development of many aspects of natural philosophy.

The present course was specifically prepared for students who do not necessarily have a good science background.  A somewhat more advanced course was given at Strathclyde University and in East Kilbride Technology Park a few years ago.  At the end of this publication, I provide links to the slides for the much more detailed course (8 hours).



















































































The above slides complete the presentation of the course at CLL in October/November 2021.  

A more detailed discussion of life and work of Einstein may be found through the following links:


In the following I provide links to my talks at the Life Long Learning Centre at the University of Strathclyde and also at East Kilbride James Watt Auditorium.  The talks are suitable for most people with a school background in science and were prepared to celebrate Albert Einstein's life and work.
