Participation in #EdSciFest

We regularly participate in Edinburgh’s fantastic Science Festival.

Niki, Bill and team have been awarded the Tam Dalyell Prize for Excellence in Engaging the Public with Science, and delivered the prize lecture at the Science Festival 2018.

Niki was invited to give the Science Festival Sermon in St Giles Cathedral in 2017.

We took part in the Moments in Time installation in 2017 and 2019 and organised various live walking tours during the festivals.

Participation in #edintfest

In 2016 we contributed to the Edinburgh International Festival opening lightshow on Castle Rock. Based on our history of geology tour Bill Jenkins provided information to the makers on James Hutton and the concept of Deep Time, also resulting in a comic by Graeme McNee.
