8 Superb Science Speakers to Educate Your Team

Science is a very broad word that covers, what seems like, a million smaller subject matters; all of which are vital fields to be investing in. It’s important to ensure that all of the generations, young and old, are well-informed on scientific discoveries and the general wider science world; as they impact how everyone lives their lives.

In an effort to remind us how crucial it is to remain ‘in the loop’ of the world of science, British Science Week is back this March, with the very fitting theme of ‘Connections’.

Following on from the pandemic years where ‘connections’ were craved but kept to a minimum, this topic is high on everyone’s agenda as we move forward to create our new normal.

The majority of all innovations in science, technology, engineering and maths are built on connections, with individuals uniting into research groups to solve problems and, specifically within science, connections happening to result in reactions!

Meet a selection of our scientific superstars

Covering just about everything science has to offer, from space exploration, physics and microbiology, our inspirational, fascinating and (quite frankly) genius speakers on these topics share their incredible knowledge through their workshops and keynote speeches.

Whether you’re after an inspirational women in STEM, or a lab coat-clad researcher, we’ve got the perfect speaker and/or host for your upcoming corporate event, school/university lecture, media appearance or convention!
