At Café Scientifique, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed setting. Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker and audience

We’ll be joined by Pamela Armstrong on Tuesday 6 February from 6:30 – 8:00pm.

The first monuments ever built on our landscapes were mounds known as barrows. These communal places made of earth and stone were designed to house the dead. There are those who say the people who built these huge structures deliberately oriented them to the sun, the moon and the stars.

Join Pamela Armstrong, Skyscape Archaeologist from Bournemouth University to explore the old stones, the old ways and the old skies.

This event will be held at The Black Cherry in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Although the talks start at 6:30pm, the café will be open early so we encourage you to arrive early for a drink and a bite to eat before the talk starts.

If you have any questions about this event, or  if you’re interested in getting involved with a future Café Sci event, please email the Public Engagement with Research Team: publicengagement@bournemouth.ac.uk
