Matthew Tosh - Adviser

Health and Safety advice for science festivals, high-profile stage shows and demonstrations, including reviewing risk assessments. I’ve won repeated commissions for my proactive approach at bridging the gap between what a performer wants to do and legal H&S obligations. My risk assessments and H&S processes are trusted as being thorough by both my firework and science communication colleagues. Previous clients include Cheltenham Festivals and Greg Foot.

THE FX FACTOR: Flames, smoke and pyro are used on TV, in films and on stage to add explosive atmosphere, but how do scientists go about making these effects? Join Matthew Tosh to find out and explore the amazing world of live special effects. Learn how to make a controlled column of fire or ankle hugging fogs without choking the audience and much more. Packed with demos, freezing jets, bubbling flasks, smoke and one or two explosions, this is the very serious science behind stage effects.

Featured at the The London Science Museum, The Cheltenham Science Festival, British Science Week, Forum Départemental des Sciences (Lille), and many schools 'The Brain Game' is a flexible set of fun activities that can be reconfigured for a wide range of participants. It gets people to pass messages around in a way that shows how brain cells work; it recruits the audience to play the part of axons; and it is a very exciting game! https://sites.google.com/site/mcoath/projects/the-brain-game

Martin Coath - Speaker (paid)

The workshop 'The Power and Limits of Science' started as a research project (Christchurch College Canterbury, LASAR project) and it is designed to encourage students to think about the sorts of questions which can, and cannot be fully addressed using purely scientific arguments. https://sites.google.com/site/mcoath/projects/pls

Sphere Science Limited - Speaker (paid)

Our hands-on, practical primary INSET days support the teaching of science enquiry and investigative skills. We aim to increase staff confidence in structuring investigations for themselves and in encouraging pupils to ask questions and look for answers. We design the day to meet the needs of each school's curriculum, focussing activities on materials and their properties and physical processes. Shorter courses are negotiable. www.spherescience.co.uk

David Stevenson - Speaker (free)

I am an experienced speaker, teacher and academic. I've developed my own niche in the astrobiology community, bringing together geography; evolutionary biology and planetary science. So, if you are interested in finding out where the aliens are; why some habitable planets will likely never host intelligent life; or would just like to find out about the origin and evolution of life on Earth or elsewhere, I would be very willing to deliver a talk.

Beth Nichol - Speaker (free)

I'd like to attend an event to discuss the OCTAHEDRON project with the public and hear about their thoughts and concerns in an interactive and engaging way. The project aims to develop an early diagnostic tool for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's. To do this, it is using NHS data from 3D eye scans and artificial intelligence to create an algorithm. More information about OCTAHEDRON can be found here: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/latest/2020/09/aiforparkinsonsandalzheimers/
