The Celebration of Science 2023 event combines a keynote from Dr Becky Smethurst with our annual prizegiving celebrations.

We're excited to be holding the event at the fantastic Thinktank at the Birmingham Science Museum, an award-winning science museum. By moving the event out of London, we also hope to provide greater accessibility for Member Bodies and Registrants from across the country.

KEYNOTE: DR BECKY SMETHURST

We’re delighted to be welcoming Dr Becky Smethurst as the keynote speaker. Dr Becky Smethurst is an astrophysicist, author, science communicator and Royal Astronomical Society Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. She has been awarded numerous prizes for her research and science communication efforts in recent years. In her keynote, Dr Smethurst will offer a unique perspective on combining being a science communicator with being an active researcher.
