Looking for something new and FREE to do this week in Aberdeen .. there's LOADS on so there are no excuses for being bored!
Monday 16th June - Cafe Philosophique 'Is Equality Good for Us? The Blue Lamp 7pm, FREE just turn up!
A short, informal talk and open discussion about philosophy! A great bunch of folk go along to this event. It's really chilled out and this talk should be really interesting! The talk will be delivered by Dr Beth Lord from the University of Aberdeen. Don't forget to get your free ticket for the finale of this season of Cafe Phi from the Belmont Filmhouse (27 June) for the 'Where does Scott Pilgrim Live?' with Professor Roy Cook all the way from the University of Minnesota!
Tuesday 17th June - Shmu FM The very first 'Talking Science' Radio show! 2-3pm
Tune in for the very first in the series of Talking Science. A brand new Shmu radio show... brought to you by the Public Engagement with Research team at the University of Aberdeen (that includes me... :-/ ). I will be super impressed if anyone guesses the 'sound of science' challenge!!!
Wednesday 18 June - Cafe Scientifique ' Danger High Voltage' Tesla's Contribution to Society (FEATURING A TESLA COIL DEMO!) 7pm Waterstones FREE
An informal short talk (30mins ish) with a live demo followed by a Q&A. Dr Ken Skeldon will be delivering this event (he's done science shows around the globe!) Plenty of people come on their own to these events so don't feel uncomfortable about just turning up. Coffee and cake available to buy from the Costa cafe.

Thanks for letting me know! Do you post these on the Aberdeen City Council What's On pages? I find people use those a lot to get information about what is coming up in Aberdeen.
