Today saw the start of The Year of Light  series of free Science and Technology talks in Lancaster this winter, delivered by academics from across science and technology at Lancaster University. The weekly lecture series, at The Storey in Lancaster, runs every Tuesday at 7pm until 15 December. The talks are completely free, though you will need to book online or call 01524 594011 (office hours).

Following the success of last year’s Unlocking the Future lectures last autumn, this year’s talks take the theme of the Year of Light Within Science and Technology. Each talk covers the latest science and technology research at Lancaster and covers many disciplines; from how humans experience colour to how light can be captured for energy conversion.
