The I-Science Society Formal Dinner
On Friday the Interdisciplinary Science Society hosted their final social event of the year, bringing all years of the degree (and staff!) together for a formal dinner at the Belmont hotel. It was a great way to round off the last term, and a nice break from thinking about the final deadlines now just days […]
Interdisciplinary Science Society Events and Time Management
The I-Science Society kicked things off in style with a society meal at their new sponsor, boasting food from all over the world. It was a great chance to properly meet those just starting the degree, along with everyone else that have long been a part of it. It’s funny how a small department means […]
Handing over the IScience Society to the Next Committee

Student societies can be sponsored by different businesses, giving deals to society members in exchange for guaranteeing a certain number of people per term, or advertising, that sort of thing. This year like many student societies, […]

In the case of Evolution, this consists of a report explaining the processes that give rise to maize being the […]
Seminars, bake sales, and JIST
It’s been another busy week for the Interdisciplinary Science Society. On Wednesday we hosted a seminar entitled “Tetrapod Evolution in the Early Carboniferous – the TW:eed Project” by Dr Carys Bennett, where she discussed how many scientists from a range of disciplines (and universities!) are just beginning to uncover one of the most important fossil […]
Laser tag, tetrapod evolution and keeping metals cool
This week students from all years of I-science joined together in shooting each other with sometimes-working lasers for the nostalgic pleasure in seeing your assigned game character somewhere on the laser tag score board, and being the third in a series of annual first socials, it may have just been the best one yet. Big […]
