————————————————————————————————————<\/p>\n

Brian Greene<\/a>, a physicist who helped make string theory a common household phrase, and\u00a0Kate Mulgrew<\/a> (Star Trek: Voyager<\/a>; Orange is the New Black<\/a>),\u00a0will be visiting UCF on Friday, April 10.<\/p>\n

Tom Johnson<\/a>, emmy award winning journalist and anchor at FOX35, will host the event and interview Greene and Mulgrew.\u00a0 The event, presented by UCF iCubed Project<\/a>, is free and open to the public.\u00a0 A book signing by the speakers will take place following the interview.<\/p>\n

Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University<\/a>, has been studying the cosmos for decades and is considered a leading expert in the field. He also is known for \u00a0his ability to make science understandable to non-scientists. He has published many books, narrated PBS specials, appeared on a variety of shows including The Colbert Report<\/a>, Late Night with David Letterman <\/a>and even had a guest spot on the TV comedy The Big Bang Theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kate Mulgrew, who currently stars as Galina \u201cRed\u201d Reznikov on the hit Netflix series, \u201cOrange is the New Black,\u201d is internationally recognized by science fiction fans as Capt. Kathryn Janeway, the first female captain of the Starship Enterprise in \u201cStar Trek: Voyager.\u201d \u00a0Her upcoming memoir, Born With Teeth<\/em>, will be released April 14.<\/p>\n

Mulgrew looks forward as well to her Orlando visit and collaboration with UCF. \u00a0\u201cI love any school that takes culture as seriously as [UCF] does,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This event is presented by UCF iCubed, a National Science Foundation-funded project.\u00a0\u00a0UCF iCubed\u00a0partners with several colleges within the University of Central Florida, including the College of Engineering and Computer Science, College of Arts and Humanities, College of Education, and College of Sciences. The project goal is to ensure broader impact of NSF-funded projects through coordination and integration of the education and research activities by increasing participation in STEM fields.<\/p>\n

Later that evening (April 10),\u00a0Mulgrew will perform in\u00a0UCF Celebrates the Arts 2015, as science, art and music mesh in a performance of \u201cIcarus at the Edge of Time,\u201d based on a children’s book authored by Greene.\u00a0 Mulgrew will provide\u00a0live narration\u00a0and the music will be\u00a0performed by the UCF Symphony Orchestra.\u00a0 For more information on the evening event, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
