As we look ahead to the start of the Christmas season, our Cafe Scientifique next Tuesday is surely one you can’t miss.
The much anticipated Christmas edition of Café Sci will see Bournemouth University’s forensic society set us a mission to find out ‘Who stole Christmas?’
Are you a budding Sherlock or more a Horatio Caine? You’ll have an Opportunity to learn more about techniques used by Crime Scene investigators by analysing fingerprints, shoe prints, fibres and other evidence found at the scenes of these serial burglaries.
Be sure to mark the 2nd December in your diary and we look forward to seeing you for doors at 6:30 in Cafe Boscanova.
Get your Christmas jumpers out of the attic and advent calendars at the ready.
All the best,
The Café Sci Team.
