Welcome to the Oxfordshire Branch of the British Science Association
The British Science Association (formerly known as the BA) envisages a society in which people from all walks of life are able to access science, engage with it and feel a sense of ownership about its direction. The British Science Association is a nationwide organisation, with Branches from Cornwall to Aberdeen and Regional Officers through the English regions and in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Oxfordshire Branch of the British Science Association runs SciBar events on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Port Mahon Pub in St Clements. SciBar is literally science in a bar and is a free and relaxed event. To find out more visit our SciBar page

June SciBar Details
The British Science Association Oxfordshire Branch are proud to present two speakers, Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams, at our next SciBar on Thursday 21st June.
Global climate and weather patterns are changing, but how far and fast will this change be? Join us to hear Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams discuss how the Earth's climate has altered over its dramatic history. Yet, the Earth has remained habitable for over three billion years - in contrast to its planetary neighbours. What can this long history tell us about the future?
Come along to the Port Mahon Pub on St. Clements to learn something new over a few pints - is there better way to spend a Thursday evening?
As always it is a free event and starts at 6.30pm. See you there!
Can't make it? We record all of our SciBars so that you can listen to them after the event from our Podcast Section. You never need to miss a SciBar again!

Please support plant scientists facing destruction of their research
Sense about Science are a charitable trust that equips people to make sense of scientific and medical claims in public discussion. They are currently appealing for support for plant scientists facing destruction of their research by anti-GM protesters at the end of May 2012. Sense About Science stands up for people whose research faces intimidation or suppression. You can find out more by visiting their website.
Write to your MP about Libel Reform!
You can make a difference in the fight to change libel laws by writing to your MP about the draft defamation bill.
We need to ensure that the final legislation contains everything needed for an effective reformation of libel laws and to help keep libel reform at the top of the political agenda. You can help by urging your MP to show their support for the draft defamation bill by signing the Early Day Motion 1636. There is more information and a sample letter here.
You can find more information about the Libel Reform Campaign by clicking on the link below and if you haven't signed it already, you can sign the petition here.
