  Paul Langevin: physicist, humanist, internationalist – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution

  Close to Einstein and the Curies, Paul Langevin’s life spanned the twentieth century physics revolution: relativity; radioactivity; quantum mechanics. Cambridge launched his prolific career, including contributions in magnetism, gas ionisation, kinetics and ultrasonics. A consummate teacher, he promoted science education and politically left-wing, he persistently warned against the rise of fascism. Professor Francis Duck, Fellow of the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, formerly at the Royal United Hospital and the University of Bath

  🗝️Explore the surprising history of how faith and science have shaped each other in Don Cameron's talk Nineteenth Century Science and Its Conflict with Orthodoxy. 📅Tues 3rd Feb 7:30PM Watch in person or online
  

  Nineteenth century science & its conflict with orthodoxy – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution

  Around 1800, belief in the literal truth of every word in the Bible was almost universally accepted; it was certainly not viewed as the idea of a fundamentalist minority. Scientists, many of whom were clergymen, were confident that learning about God’s works from the book of nature could only confirm what they already knew from the book of scripture. But, as scientific discoveries accumulated, this coherent picture changed. It is valuable for both believers and non-believers to understand how this history developed. Dr Don Cameron, BRLSI Convenor

  🌌✨ Neptune and Uranus like you’ve never seen them before! ✨🌌 🚀Prof Tom Stallard will be sharing stunning new images from the James Webb Space Telescope in a live-streamed talk at Queen Square - watch online from anywhere... 🔭 www.brlsi.org/whatso... #Astronomy #Neptune #Uranus #JWST
  

  The Grand Tour of Ice Giant Aurorae – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution

  When the Voyager II spacecraft flew past Uranus and Neptune in 1986 and 1989, respectively, it revealed a strange new type of world, somewhere between the Gas Giants of Jupiter and Saturn, and rocky terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars. But, since Voyager, these planets have been hidden from view. JWST has changed all that - this incredible telescope can show brilliant views of both the aurora and the entire surrounding upper atmosphere, laying out not only aurorae but also the magnetic fields across the planet. In November 2025 and January 2026, we are undertaking a Grand Tour of Neptune then Uranus. It is the largest JWST planetary observation ever made: we will be revealing the latest images and talking about what we’ve discovered so far. Professor Tom Stallard is a Professor of Astrophysics at Northumbria University, UK. He is a leading planetary astronomer in the UK, who currently has the largest number of JWST hours of any planetary astronomer in the world. In 2019, he was awarded the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) Chapman medal for his research into planetary aurora. He has shared his astronomy with the wider public in a range of ways, including RAS  ‘live from the observatory’ events. He was presented with the title ‘Hoku Kolea’ by the Mauna Kea observatories for his work in public engagement.​ Please note that the speaker will not be in the room but his talk will be streamed live onto the large screen at Queen Square. You can watch the talk on the screen at Queen Square or buy a Watch Online ticket to watch elsewhere.

  💥 Can you spot #fakenews? Join Sam Douglas-Bate (ForgeFront) to uncover how misinformation spreads, and what it really means for #politics, #protests, and the #world around you. 📰 The Double-Edged Sword: How to Win the War on Fake News 📅 Tue 16 Dec, 7:30–9:00pm
  

  The Double-Edged Sword: how to win the war on fake news – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution

  Fake news impacts the life of every person, with profound implications for trust in government and real-world impacts, such as the 2024 summer riots across the UK. With over 90% of the UK population having encountered fake news on the web, and most US citizens reporting seeing false or misleading information online at least weekly, the issue is top of the agenda for leaders around the globe. New technologies from home and abroad have the power to transform the debate by both enabling and stopping the spread. In this talk, ForgeFront’s Managing Director and former UK civil servant Sam Douglas-Bate puts this so-called ‘double-edged sword’ under the microscope, looking at what powerful new technologies mean for the spread of misinformation and disinformation. The talk will draw upon a recent report Sam wrote for The New Lines Institute, a think-tank based in Washington DC. He has discussed his research most recently on C-Span and in the podcast Disinformation Wars. Sam Douglas-Bate, Founder, ForgeFront

  🌍 COP30 Demystified: Is the World Any Further Forward? Questions are welcomed in this discussion unpacking the outcomes of COP30 in Belém. Experts break down climate finance, global agreements, and the challenges still ahead. 🔗 www.brlsi.org/whatso... #BRLSI #COP30 #ClimateChange #Sustainability
  

  COP30 demystified: is the world any further forward? – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution

  We invite you to join in with our COP30 panel discussion, in the style of BBC Radio’s Any Questions.  Please submit your questions for the panel in advance to profstuartreynolds@cantab.net By the date of our discussion the COP30 meeting will have concluded, but the news from Belém will still be fresh. One of the main functions of this event will be to demystify the political process of COP meetings, allowing our panellists (and audience members) to offer their own judgements on the Belém conference's successes and failures. Since Paris in 2015, successive COPs have attempted to codify and promote global scale mechanisms for climate finance including carbon trading, blended finance, damage funds, debt for climate swaps and sovereign climate insurance.  Challenges to radically upscaling climate finance include the persistent funding gap, inequitable distribution, over-reliance on debt, difficulty mobilizing private capital, institutional inefficiencies, underinvestment in nature-based solutions, and weak transparency and tracking systems. There remain serious problems of international and intergenerational justice, ethics and equity. And the USA is not even there. The big question will be: is the world any further forward after the COP30 meeting? Panellists for this session: Jay Connor (undergraduate student in International Development with Economics at the University of Bath, representing “Gen Z”). Dr Alix Dietzel (University of Bristol, School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies and Cabot Institute for the Environment) Peter Harper (independent researcher, formerly at the Centre for Alternative Technology at Machynlleth, Wales, one of the original authors of Zero Carbon Britain, also visiting lecturer at University of Bath) Dr Yixian Sun (University of Bath, Department of Social Policy; Adjunct Senior Research Fellow of the Institute for Environment and Sustainability Sciences, National University of Singapore) Please submit your questions for the panel in advance to profstuartreynolds@cantab.net

  🔭 Thomas Harriot: Renaissance Astronomer, Navigator & Mathematician Ahead of his talk on 5 Dec 2025, Tony Symes shares why Thomas Harriot deserves far more recognition. 📖 Full Q&A + tickets... www.brlsi.org/whatso... #ThomasHarriot #RenaissanceScience #HistoryOfScience #AstronomyHistory
  

  Thomas Harriot: Renaissance astronomer, navigator & mathematician – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution

  Thomas Harriot was not only the first in England to be documented as pointing a telescope at the night sky and draw the Moon (just before Galileo in Venice), but was also a navigator who had sailed to North America to set up the first English colony at Roanoke Island, had learnt the Carolina Algonquian language and had written a book about what he found: A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia. When a portion of court intrigue and Harriot’s connections with other key Elizabethan and Jacobean figures is added in, the result is a story which needs to be told. Tony Symes is keen, as an enthusiastic amateur, to talk about this all too often forgotten scientist and reveal the background against which he was operating. Anthony Symes CEng is a committee member of the Herschel Society and chairs the Programme Subcommittee at the BRLSI.  He graduated in Physics at the University of Sussex and worked in IT, mainly on supervisory control systems.
