The Exploring Science Group has a wide variety of members who share a common interest, Science!
You do not have to be a scientist to enjoy our sessions - you just need to be interested!
The meetings are usually, but not exclusively, presentations given by members of the group. These cover a wide range of topics which can promote lively discussion and debate.
Recently, we have heard about such diverse topics as The Lunar Society, Codes and Ciphers, Nano-particles, Aspects of Evolution, Lung Function, Home Automation and Life Stories.
