Afterwords with The Atlanta Science Festival and Justin Burton
March 18, 2023 at 2:30 pm
Following the 2:30 PM performance // Hertz Stage, Woodruff Arts Center
The Alliance will partner with the Atlanta Science Festival to present a special performance of The Many Wondrous Realities of Jasmine Starr-Kidd, followed by a talkback by Juston Burton (from Emory’s Burton Lab) to dissect the science featured in the show.
The Atlanta Science Festival is an annual celebration of the world-class learning and STEM career opportunities in metro Atlanta, featuring 150 engaging events for curious kids and adults at venues all across the region. The Festival is engineered by Science ATL and 80+ community partners, with major support from founders Emory University, Georgia Tech, and the Metro Atlanta Chamber, presenting sponsor Delta Air Lines, and other sponsors NCR Foundation, UPS, Cox, and more. This year’s Festival runs March 10–25, 2023. Keep up with all things #ATLSciFest on atlantasciencefestival.org, through their newsletter, and on social media!
Free for ticket holders. No RSVP required.

Justin Burton obtained his B.S. degree in Physics from the University of Cincinnati in 2001 and his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of California, Irvine in 2006. After postdoctoral positions at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Chicago, he joined the Department of Physics at Emory University in 2013, where he is now an Associate Professor of Physics. His interdisciplinary research program is primarily experimental and covers a wide variety of topics focused on complex and nonequilibrium systems. Current projects include interfacial and nanoscale fluid dynamics, disordered and granular materials, machine learning of many-body dynamics in dusty plasmas, and the physics of tidewater glaciers. He is a past recipient of the National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award, an Arthur Compton lecturer at the University of Chicago, an ARCS Orange County Scholar, a member of the Editorial Board for Physical Review Research, and leads a number of K-12 STEM outreach and education activities in the Atlanta area. |
