Cafe Scientifique

Tomorrow evening, the 8th of May, we have Falmouth’s very own Cafe Scientifique kicking off with a lecture from Dr Sasha Dall on; “Unintelligent design: understanding the complexities of life”

Dr Sasha is the Snr Lecturer in Mathematical Biology of Exeter’s Tremough campus, and will enlighten us with this broad introduction to the modern study of evolutionary biology, with particular focus on animal behaviour.

Sasha will also be able to give an indication of other areas which his research study group explores; and this may prompt ideas and suggestions for future talks.

Sasha’s talk will start at 8pm, run for 20-30 minutes; and then we will have a brief break for refreshment before the Q&A.

To help manage what might be a sudden rush of orders, you can order food in advance, and you will also be able to pre-order interval drinks on the night.
