Science
has made us aware that what is around us may be huge,
awesome,
sometimes devastating, or invisible and incredibly
strange; that
scale and interaction gives us different and often
conflicting
perspectives. What we find is frequently unexpected,
perplexing and
often forces us to reimagine and rethink.
The
Group focuses on areas of Science that stretch the
mind. New
discoveries and interesting applications of science. New
theories and
experiments that will/could change our lives and those of
our
descendants. Along with some light-hearted amusing findings
Where
possible we invite speakers with a sound
understanding of a
topic to inform and start the discussion. Some meetings
will
concentrate on a single topic and others will have more
than one
subject to get your teeth into. We welcome Members’ ideas
for
topics and speakers (themselves or others) that will be
stimulating
and thought provoking.
We
meet twice a month. The first is on the second Wednesday of the month at 2:30pm on Zoom
Generally
it’s a Science ‘pot pourri’ – mix of two or three short
presentations followed by lively discussion.
The
second is a Zoom only meeting, generally involving
external speakers
- subject specialists from UK and abroad. It’s generally
held on
the last Monday of the month at 3pm, dependent on speaker
availability and time-zones.
