Public Science Lectures

Post by Gfamily » Fri Dec 13, 2019 3:04 pm

Daresbury Labs have opened booking for the next three lectures in their 2019/20 Talking Science season.

They should show on this page - they're the last 3 as I see them.

The full programme with details of the following 3 lectures are here

ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Not a lecture, but may be of interest.

Science + Industry Museum, Manchester
Science journalist Angela Saini and historian Pratik Chakrabarti will be asking 'Who owns science?'.
Science is often considered a European invention, and contributions from other people, places and cultures have often been erased from historical records and public memory. But while the UK reassesses its place in the world, is it time to decolonise these scientific narratives?

Join us at this special after hours event as we discuss science, race, industry and Empire, and ask whether our stories about science need to be rewritten.
Free, but booking required
