Join the BCSC and some fiendish friends for their second annual Halloween online event on Thursday 28 October at 7pm.
This time around, they’ll be looking at the Black Country’s links with science fiction and exploring some of the weird and wonderful aspects of the region’s science facts. Expect monsters, mummies, mutants and menacing machines as they’re joined by University of Wolverhampton’s Dr Nicola Allen and Dr Martin Khechara, alongside BCLM researchers Dr Jenny Gilbert and Nadia Awal.
From the virtual fireside, Nicola will set the science fiction scene and introduce the genre: its origins, development and characteristics. Jenny and Nadia will share some of their favourite Black Country sci-fi stories and Dr K will be exploring the science behind monsters, mutants and terrible triffids.
There will also be an interactive quiz that will test your skills in telling scientific fact from fiction.
Tickets for this online event are free and can be booked via the BCLM website here. Book now for a free, fun and informative night of spooky science!
