This is a group that aims to look at some scientific issues of general interest. You don’t need to a scientist – anyone with an interest in science is welcome. Our aim is to appeal to as many people as possible by covering a variety of different topics. If any member of the group wants to suggest a subject that they would like to learn about, we will try to cover it.
The format is generally a talk followed by questions and discussion.
Please contact the convenor if you would like more information or would like to receive emails about our meetings.
