Discuss Science over coffee at Milton Keynes events

Join OU Scientists in Milton Keynes for a series of  informal chats about Science being run by the CafeSciMK starting in April 2013.

Date: Monday 15 April 2013
Time: 7.30-9.30pm
Venue: Slug & Lettuce, 1 Savoy Crescent, Milton Keynes, MK9 3PU
Free to attend

Life, the universe and everything one might like to ask about the cosmos is the theme for the first in a new series of café chats. These weekly events, provide a chance to explore the latest ideas of science and technology in an informal setting.

Each event at the Café Sci will involve a talk by an OU scientist, followed by a question and answer session and is aimed at a general audience. The first one will be given by Dr Natalie Starkey and Dr Louisa Preston, Cosmologists and Research Associates at the OU on the topic of Life in the Cosmos and will include a look at some of the collection of Mars meteorites.

Café Sci will then be held every 3rd Monday of the month thereafter. Dr Natalie Starkey said: “The aim is to provide a great way of getting science out there in an informal setting, so people can meet those behind the science and put their questions to them.”
