You don’t have to be an Einstein to enjoy this course. It has been designed to make science accessible to anyone with an enquiring mind. One of the aims of Dorset Humanists is to promote the public understanding of science. This course does exactly that.
Our course leaders are our own members: Chris Street has a master’s degree in medicinal chemistry and is a science tutor, Phil Butcher studied physics at Cambridge and has had a career in the nuclear industry, Greg Atkins has doctorates in genetics and virology, subjects he taught at Trinity College Dublin and Graham Marshall studied physics at Birmingham and Nottingham universities and had a career in science.
