Preston

The Preston Branch is run by a group of volunteers all united by a common passion - science, and communicating it to the public. We hold events ranging from SciBar style talks to panel events, debates to science busking. We also deliver workshop-style events with families, covering a range of topics from the vastness of space to the fascinating organisms of microbiology.
