MEET THE SCIENTIST<\/p><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Dynamic Earth are proud to be a leading platform for connecting people of all ages and backgrounds with real scientists working in cutting-edge and topical Earth and environmental science research across Scotland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
We work in partnership with leading universities, research centres and industry every year to deliver Meet the Scientist<\/em> opportunities to help everyone connect with and understand the relevance of science in their everyday lives and futures.<\/p>\n We\u2019re delighted to be offering online meet the scientist opportunities for learners across Scotland. Join us in these unique online opportunities to connect with inspirational role models researching and working in a range of STEM subject areas, find out how they got into their area and what advice they have for all budding future scientists who will be the problem solvers of tomorrow.<\/p>\n These free opportunities are open to all schools and learners in Scotland; but we recommend that they\u2019re most suitable for learners working at second level and above. As part of the sessions, you\u2019ll meet one of our friendly learning and engagement team who will introduce you to the scientist, provide an overview of the topic and lead a Q&A which you\u2019ll have the opportunity to feed into as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> April – June 2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Tuesday 28th April | 2pm | 45 minutes | Microsoft Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> Join Dynamic Earth for an online Meet the Scientist session, where we will be joined by climate change expert Dr Rebecca Wade from Abertay University. Rebecca will be talking all about her research and work to help us understand climate change, how we can adapt to it and what we can do to help reduce its impacts. She will also share her experiences from a voyage to Antarctica where she observed first-hand the influence of human activities on the environment. Open to all learners but ideal for learners working at second level and above. Invites will be sent out the week prior to the session.<\/p>\n<\/div> Tuesday 19th May | 2pm | 45 minutes | Microsoft Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> Join Dynamic Earth for an online Meet the Scientist session, where we will learn about some incredible insects and how their relationship with plants helps protect our planet. We will be joined by an expert entomologist (a scientist who studies insects!) to learn all about these minibeasts and the huge impact these tiny creatures have! Open to all learners but ideal for learners working at second level and above. Invites will be sent out the week prior to the session. <\/p>\n<\/div>BOOKABLE SESSIONS IN TERM THREE<\/h3><\/div>
