Join PRISM Exeter on the evening of November 17th 2020 for a celebration of diversity and inclusion in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Medicine (STEMM).
Prof Robert Appleby (Univ. Manchester) will speak about the Tactile Collider project and communicating science to a visually impaired audience. Dr Nat Stephen (Univ.
