Zoom meetings

The aim of this Group is to investigate key topical science issues, to better understand them and how they relate to our lives.

This group is called Science Matters. In the world in which we live, Science certainly matters. It can be argued that science and technology has driven human evolution since the earliest times. In today’s world, however, some of us may feel that it has gone too far and taken over our lives - or has passed us by altogether.

The group has looked at the problems of plastic waste, climate change and some virus that’s going around. We return to such topics on a regular basis but also look at other issues that fill the headlines with claims that may be fake or otherwise. Members are free to introduce any relevant subject. Some of our discussion can be quite detailed but we do try to ensure that no-one is “left behind”.

The purpose of this group is to look at how we got to here, and where we go from here. So, if you remember watching all those episodes of Tomorrow’s World and that sense of achievement when you first programmed the timer on the video recorder, this could be the group for you!
