IDDescription
947The Science Group was one of the first to be formed in Leighton U3A in 1992. Some of us have been scientists or engineers in former lives and some are very enthusiastic laymen. The group discusses a wide range of subjects in the fields of science and technology. Normally a meeting is devoted to a particular topic researched and presented by one of the members, though there is usually time for general discussion of topical scientific events. Sometimes a whole session is devoted to ‘science in the news’ when we all bring along cuttings from newspapers or journals which have caught our eye.Whatever the passion of a member, natural history, physics, astronomy, geology, chemistry, mathematics, the oil industry, the environment and so on, we have enjoyed their contribution. From the lifestyle of solitary bees to the deep mysteries of the Big Bang, we've been there and still keep on looking.
