Stokes 200 Symposium

A celebration of the remarkable scientific achievements of Sir George Gabriel Stokes two hundred years after his birth. The meeting is to be held at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he worked, and lived (until he moved just round the corner to Lensfield cottage upon his marriage). Holding the bicentennial of his birth at Pembroke will give people the full Stokes experience: they will enter the College through the entrance he used, they will walk the paths he walked, and eat with both a portrait and a bust of Stokes looking down at them.
