I am pleased to announce three upcoming events in the Second Nature lecture series.

First up will be Deb and Doug Brown on Mon Feb 18th, talking about their work conserving the endangered manatee in Florida. Deb is a particularly welcome guest as she is also known as CeAire DeCosta, one of our first ever attendees at a Second Nature event!

Manatee, for anyone wondering

Following on from that will be the rescheduled George Monbiot event. George is a well known blogger and author and will be talking to us about his views on the current global warming debate and what we as individuals and a society need to do about the climate.

Thirdly, we welcome Dr James Kirkpatrick, the winner of the Roy Prize for Physics, awarded annually to the best PhD thesis submitted in materials physics. James is a member of the Imperial College Experimental Solid State Physics Group, working on the use of organic materials in solar cells.

Dates and times below: watch this space for details of these and more upcoming events. All events will be held on Second Nature, and will be free and open to all.
