Are you interested in science but afraid to ask? The science discussion group is attended by scientists and those interested in science topics like black holes or antibiotic resistance. The usual format is that we research a topic and then discuss it in an informal atmosphere here in Culgaith each month.

We have occasional field trips (e.g. ice cream manufacturing, beer making, glass production) and discuss a very wide range of topics like colour perception, dinosaurs, plastics, environmental science, time dilation, rainbows, and amino acids to name but a few.
