Thame Town Hall (Upper Chamber), 13 June 2011
The Pulse Project is delighted to present video coverage of the inaugural Pulse Public Science Lecture convened in collaboration with the Thame Town Council on the 13 June 2011. With over sixty members of the public in the audience, Dr Stuart Clark's lecture on "The Origins of Science" also marked the probably first ever such event in Thame, one that will hopefully be expanded into a fully fledged lecture series over the coming months
