Citizens who do Science
Everyday, people around the country are working with researchers to make new discoveries. From collecting data to helping analyse it, citizens are catalysing discoveries across many scientific disciplines, from biology to astrophysics. Join us for a panel discussion on the growing field of ""citizen science"", as we explore this exciting relationship between researchers and people who want to get involved.
6.30pm–7.30pm
Telling Stories with Research
For research to make a difference, it must be shared. The way we share that research often depends on the discipline, but telling a story is a key part of the process. Whether sharing your research with your colleagues, or with society, storytelling can help people connect with the data, facts, and theories behind it. Join us for a panel discussion on the role of storytelling in the biological sciences, in manuscript research, and in archaeology.
7.30pm–8.30pm
Bright Club
Bright Club is a variety night for lateral minds, where researchers become comedians for a night!
