Stuff that occurs to me

All of my 'how to' posts are tagged here. The most popular posts are about blocking and private accounts on Twitter, also the science communication jobs list. None of the science or medical information I might post to this blog should be taken as medical advice (I'm not medically trained).

Think of this blog as a sort of nursery for my half-baked ideas hence 'stuff that occurs to me'.

Science in London: The 2018/19 scientific society talks in London blog post

Wednesday 31 March 2021

Online talks coming up this week (science heavy)

Lockdown has not interfered that much with my hobby of attending science talks - hooray. 

Here are a few coming up that I might well go to. 

Wednesday 31 March
•  Botany in 18th Century Cambridge: A first look inside the Martyn collection - 4pm - FREE  
•  Into the London Fog - 6.30pm - FREE

Thursday 1 April
•  Overloaded: how your brain chemicals influence your life - 12.30pm - ~£20 
 - from the Royal Institution (Eventbrite events)
•  Bats in Churches - 6.30pm - FREE 

Sunday 4 April
•  In Conversation with David Attenborough - 2pm - FREE 

Wednesday 7 April
•  RECOVERY trial, one year on - 9am - FREE 
•  Colonial Knowledges: Environment and Logistics in the Creation of Knowledge in British Colonies from 1750 to 1950 - 5-6pm - FREE
This one is fairly academic: "The effects of colonial power dynamics on knowledge creation in the long nineteenth century and beyond are well known and have become the foundation of a postcolonial reading of British scholarship in the context of empire. What has been less well examined are the practical effects of the colonial context on knowledge making. This seminar series seeks to explore how logistical and practical factors, such as the physical environment including climate and distance from the metropole, influenced the creation of both scientific and humanistic knowledge in British colonies."

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.

Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
