Wed 10 June 2015  at 7.00pm
At The Boathouse, Nelson

THEME OF THE NIGHT: The Theory of Everything
presented in association with The Nelson Science Society​

The theme might have been "science" but the stories were nothing like those those boring old science lectures you sat through at school. This show was a lot more entertaining!

Professional scientists as well as passionate amateurs told true personal stories about science and their scientific endeavours. We were regaled with stories about
bees, man-eating sharks, diamond trading, bird watching, organ harvesting and much more besides.
