 odrell Bank\, the way that the science of Radio Astronomy first began an

 leading to the creation of the great Lovell Telescope and beyond.\n\nThe
  morning after the lecture will see the launch of the UK’s first Europea

 ce Station itself.\n\nThis event launches a year-long celebration of the
  past\, present and future of Jodrell Bank’s science\, engineering and h
 eritage.\n\nPre-lecture dining is available in the Jodrell Bank Café.\n\
