10 September , Dr Paul Garside from the British Library
The Role of Science in the Conservation of Historic Textiles.
This talk will look at the ways in which scientific principles and methods
can help to better understand and to conserve historic textiles such as
medieval tapestries, modern space-suits, the only surviving sail from the
HMS Victory, Freddie Mercury's trousers and Bagpuss. ...
Southwestern Arms (upstairs room) , 36 Adelaide Rd, St Denys, SO17 2HW

venue facilities.
08 October, Dr. David Hooper from the Chilbolton Atmospheric and
Meteorological research facility, Hampshire
Topic being on atmospheric refractive index, fundamentally important for
lower-VHF and UHF radars - including the Acrobat radar at Chilbolton and
for trans-horizon radio wave propagation. Also sunsets and mirages, which
are also affected by atmospheric refractive index.
Monthly talks on a science subject
Future talks, usually the second Monday of the month.
To Be Confirmed (TBC) list, for future talks, in no particular order
a/ Prof Lindy Holden-Dye, optogenetics
b/ Dr Helen Czerski , the science of bubbles , autumn 2012
c/ Prof Chris Rhodes : What happens when we run out of oil ?
d/ Prof Patrick Hendra, on Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
e/ A speaker on infectious disease control
f/ Kim Webb, talk on horology - clock and watch escapements etc
g/ Ian Bryant: "What are Minds ?"
h/ Robert Stansbridge : followup to his popular Sound of Music talk, on
audio digital signal processing
i/ Dr Marie Johannsen , super-fast DNA testing
j/ A speaker on ecology - along the lines of how to establish and maintain
