Events for September 28, 2023

We shine a light on some of this year’s events and people. Dr Vassilios Spathopoulos shows a model of a 2,000-year-old gear-wheel computer, found off Antikythera. We’ll go to Stromness Museum and Orkney Fossil & Heritage Centre to view fossil fish from ancient Lake Orcadie. Then it's Kansas for Jake’s Midnight Science Club, with family science activities from Dr Steven ‘Jake’ Jacobs, former chief scientist of the Discovery Channel. “Young scientists and future wizards of all ages are welcome,” he says. “Be prepared to be challenged, laugh, be amazed, jump and duck for cover!”
