A social club for scientists or anyone with an interest in science has returned to Chester for 2017.
The Chester SciBar or Science in a Bar is run by volunteer branches of the British Science Association and the University of Chester STEMS society.
It’s open to those with a general interest in science, both scientists and non-scientists alike.
Evenings include a short speaker introduction and Q&A sessions or open debates and are held on the first Tuesday of each month at Kash Taprooms on Brook Street.
The schedule is as follows:
February 7 2017: João Pedro de Magalhães – “Genes regulating ageing and the quest for immortality”
March 7 2017: Stephen Jones – “What do people actually believe about evolution, and why?”
April 4 2017: Dr Neil Pickles: Deputy Head of Biological Sciences at the University of Chester
May 2 2017: Megan Argo – “When Galaxies Collide!”
June 6 2017: Dr Richard Stephens – “(Some of) The Psychology of Swearing”

The group is currently looking for more speakers and volunteers to help run the SciBAr. Get in touch via email l 1416877@chester.ac.uk or via Facebook facebook.com/scibarchester.
