Inspiring Science
Inspiring Science
Inspiring Science is an open lecture series in which high-profile speakers from inside and outside of the University speak about their research and careers in their respective scientific fields. The series includes three strands of lectures as shown below, along with upcoming inspiring science events:
Friday 1 October 2021 (16:00-17.30)- 'Climate, clouds and communication!' by Dr Kate Marvel
We are delighted that Kate will join us to talk about her work and journey in science and climate communication. After a short talk from Kate, the main part of the meeting will be composed of an interview with a Women in Climate host for which we will invite submissions for questions in advance of the meeting. Tickets available for this online event via Eventbrite.
