We run a range of events as broad and diverse as our members; from free talks on all things science (Cafe Sci) to science walks around the county.
Ben Toulson
Co-chair / Network Engagement
Ben works at the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus, supporting student placements in a range of disciplines and organisations across the Duchy. Ben is hoping to utilise his extensive network and data skills to help us map – literally as well as figuratively – all science and knowledge-related societies, organisations and groups that we hope to work with. That’s quite some task.
