About
The Cambridge University Scientific Society (SciSoc) exists “to promote all branches of science and to make science accessible to all members of the University”. We do this mainly via weekly talks, on a wide range of subjects, by the world’s most distinguished scientists and leaders in the scientific community, giving our members the opportunity to engage with great minds and explore ground-breaking scientific methods and ideas.
Often, the Society is a platform for the first public exposure of new research. Past speakers include Nobel Laureates Sir Tim Hunt and Sir John Walker, eminent scientists Sir Roger Penrose, Sir Richard Friend, Sir John Beddington and Peter Atkins, popular authors Matt Ridley and Randall Munroe, and former Universities and Sciences minister David Willetts, among many others.
