I am the president of an Edinburgh University EUSA society called InterSci<http://www.intersci.org/>, and we focus on encouraging conversations about science. InterSci are hosting an event called World of Plastics during the Midlothian Science Festival and we are looking for scientists interested in hosting an activity/table showcasing their work and sharing their knowledge. The Midlothian Science Festival is a two-week long science festival across the whole of Midlothian during October and their aim is to create a festival programme that is innovative, bold and full of events & activities. Our activity will take place at Edinburgh Midlothian College on Monday 8th October at 10am-2pm. InterScis world of plastics event will be a gala day populated by tabletop and drop-in activities focusing on 3 main activity sections: 1. Alternatives to plastics 2. The impact of plastics on the environment 3. Scientific research to combat the global plastics problem This is a great opportunity to showcase research in Edinburgh and give researchers a chance to engage with the public. We are happy for researchers to offer something tried and tested but if they haven't got an activity in mind we are available to help develop an idea and co-create the activity to try out something new. If anyone has any contacts in this field or knows any researchers who may want to be involved please forward this email on or contact us at [log in to unmask] Thank you for your help, Amelia Amelia Hallas-Potts OPTIMA PhD Student EPSRC and MRC CDT in Optical Medical Imaging The Institute of Genetic and Molecular Medicine (IGMM) The University of Edinburgh ********************************************************************** psci-com how-to: Once subscribed, send emails for the list to [log in to unmask] If not subscribed, either subscribe here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psci-com or send requests for items to be posted on your behalf to [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe (or silence messages while away) send an email (any subject) to [log in to unmask] with one of the following messages (ignoring text in brackets) • signoff psci-com (to leave the list) • set psci-com nomail (to stop receiving messages while on holiday) • set psci-com mail (to resume getting messages) Contact list owner at [log in to unmask] Small print and JISCMail acceptable use policy https://sites.google.com/site/pscicomjiscmail/the-small-print Contact Jisc Helpline: Email: [log in to unmask], Telephone: 0300 300 2212 **********************************************************************
