Bristol Science Cafe on the MV Balmoral
What is a Science cafe?
It’s a place where you find out about the latest developments in science, and ask questions in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. You do not have to have a science background.
We have a great venue - the MV Balmoral, Princes Wharf, Bristol BS1 4RN. The ship is open from 7pm and we start at 7.45. There is no charge, but we ask for a donation to help support the venue. There is a bar, and volunteers will show you around the ship if you come in good time. No booking necessary, so it’s first come first served!
We meet on the first Tuesdays of each month (not August).
Next science cafes
July 1st - Mitochondria
Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. But recent research has made us realise that there is far more to them than simply supplying us with energy.
August: give us a break!
September 2nd - Soil Accoustics
Sam Bonnett and colleagues are actively investigating the potential for monitoring the sound of soil as a means to holistically assessing soil health and provide a human experience of soil life that could influence attitudes and behaviours to the environment.
