Nelson Science Society coming events.. Monday, August 12, 7.30pm. Scribes in the Lab: When Science Becomes Metaphor, a talk by Anaise Irvine from the faculty of Arts, Auckland University. Room A211, NMIT. All welcome, non-members $2. This talk examines how key paradigm shifts in scientific understanding have been expressed by authors like H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, Kurt Vonnegut, and Margaret Atwood. It looks at how fictionalised science changes the way we use language, and in turn, changes the way we view ourselves and our world. https://sites.google/site/nelsonsciencesociety/
