Hello Psci-Commers,
The West Midlands Branch of the British Science Association is pleased to present its 2013 Annual Prestige Lecture:
50 shades of grey
Prof Iain Stewart (University of Plymouth)
Monday 21st October, Thinktank Theatre, Birmingham

Geologists are increasingly being encouraged to present their work to the wider public, and even to advocate more directly its policy dimensions. Yet how can we do that when, for most people, geology is about 'stones' and stones are 'boring'?
This talk will explore how geoscientists can access the public and policy-makers in a myriad of ways, ditching 'geo-facts' for 'geo-culture' and switching from traditional communication methods to new alternative media.
6.30pm for 7.00pm start
Thinktank, Theatre level 2, Millennium Point, Curzon St, Birmingham
