ITP members are cordially invited to an IME lecture called Rough Science.

"I love making things. The process of 'making things' is often more important to me than the initial aim is because these aims may turn out to be incorrect (or perhaps wrongly thought out) but the making process can still lead you to discovery". Jonathan is a freelance research scientist who's PhD work was on Buckminsterfullerene (C60) in the Sussex Fullerene Centre. He is one of the scientist team members of the Rough Science TV series (where five scientists are set science challenges in remote locations), and has been involved with a number of other programmes including Tomorrows World, Coast, Hollywood Science and the Open University - many have been transmitted worldwide via BBC World.

This event is free and open to all ages from 8 to 800!

Everyone welcome, especially young people interested in a career in engineering.
