Event Information

The YPS are delighted to convey to all members and guests attending the Nov.
20th lecture, ‘Bats, Bees and Blooms’, an invitation to attend a short
reception before the lecture, to celebrate the achievements of a number of
Yorkshire Sixth-formers.

This is being arranged in the atrium of the Yorkshire Museum by STEMNET, an
organisation promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths in
schools. The young people involved all took part this summer in the Nuffield bursary
scheme, which arranged placements for them working alongside professional
scientists. As part of their work, they were each required to create a
poster describing their activities. As a culmination to the process, they
will be bringing these posters to the museum at about 5.30 pm on the day of
the lecture, and showing them to a panel of judges, who, hopefully, will
find them worthy of a certificate.

To give them some extra encouragement, we hope that members and others will
arrange to arrive early for the lecture (up to half an hour), in order to
view the posters and discuss them with the youngsters. To aid this, STEMNET
have kindly offered to provide everyone with a glass of wine, or a soft
drink.

Please note this in your diary, and plan to come in and support the next
generation of scientists.’
