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.

Our Autumn 2026 programme:

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

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

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

14 Dec - From lab to local: how science activism can facilitate local activism (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!
