Notes
*Dr Jane Blunt has degrees in chemistry and engineering. After spending many years doing research she took the opportunity to re-train as a safety professional, becoming ultimately a chartered safety practitioner. Her last job before retirement was in the Cavendish laboratory, which is the largest physics department in the UK. There, every part of her education – chemistry, engineering and safety were challenged in assisting them to find ways of doing things safely. She currently works for the Open University as a tutor in technology, and is writing distance-learning A level science materials.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
