Being a more (pro)active scientist

Every month, at 7pm on the second Monday, we host an outreach event for members and for non-members who are simply curious (no strings!).  Over an hour, a typically short presentation is followed by lively discussion and insight.

Previous illuminating topics have included:

- Reflecting on new beginnings: is the knowledge we have a gift or a responsibility?

- This challenge needs a new approach

- All I want for Christmas….is a liveable future for my children: a parent’s perspective on activism

- Saying goodbye to the universe: from academia to art

- How to mobilise your research community: the case of the British Ecological Society

- What one scientist can do in a planetary emergency (a recording is available here)

- How to organise a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing (a recording is available here)

Our Autumn 2026 programme looks set to be equally stimulating:

14 Sept - A climate revolution happened in France. Why can't it happen in the UK? (Juliet Nolan & Caroline Vincent)

12 Oct - Engaging with right-wing media (Jason Scott-Warren)

9 Nov - How podcasts can help communicate complex environmental issues (Neil Haddaway)

14 Dec - tbc

You can register here for any or all of them. Guaranteed, you will hear interesting presentations and connect with like-minded scientists across all disciplines. Come along!
