Hosted by the lovely folks at the Royal Society of Chemistry, our dazzling array speakers will be delving into queer science history, and other fascinating technical subjects too! This event is open to everyone, no matter your gender or sexual orientation!

We have an exciting range of speakers, including:

Sacha Coward will be talking about videogames! Fascinated by queer folklore (especially mermaids!), Sacha organises videogame themed museum tours, builds Escape Rooms and is a trustee of Stroud’s Museum in the Park.
