Mark your calendars for the much-awaited Scientific Laboratory Show and Conference 2024! Scheduled for Wednesday May 22nd, 2024, this event promises to be a remarkable meeting of science, technology, and innovation at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham from 9.00am to 5.00pm.
Prepare to immerse yourself in the Professional Development Zone
Our Professional Development Zone is a dynamic space offering an array of lectures, workshops, seminars, and masterclasses. This zone features demonstrations from names like Eppendorf, Corning, Ohaus and Mettler Toledo. Three prominent keynote speakers - Helen Czerski, Adam Rutherford and Robin Ince are sure to deliver engaging and thought-provoking talks.
Helen Czerski
Helen Czerski is a physicist, first and foremost, but she’s acquired a few other labels along the way including oceanographer, presenter, author and bubble enthusiast. She studied Natural Sciences (Physics) at Churchill College, Cambridge, finishing with a first class degree. A year later, she returned to Cambridge to study for a PhD in experimental explosives physics, motivated by the opportunity to use high-speed photography to explore the physical world further. After her PhD, she looked around for another subject that would allow her to continue to build that sort of experiment, but with an application in the natural world. That’s when she found out about bubbles and oceans. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego was her door into that world, followed by a postdoc at the Graduate School of Oceanography in Rhode Island.
Since 2011, she has presented many BBC science documentaries. She is also a regular presenter for the Fully Charged Show, a very familiar face on the Cosmic Shambles Network, and hosts an ocean podcast for the Bertarelli Foundation called Ocean Matters.
Adam Rutherford is one of BBC Radio 4’s most pre-eminent broadcasters, with his six-part series Bad Blood: The Story of Eugenics, recently winning the audio Kavli AAAS Science Journalism Gold Award. He also presents Radio 4’s flagship programme Start the Week and was the host of the BBC’s flagship programme Inside Science for eight years. His popular series The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry has been on air for a decade. Adam is also a regular guest on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 music show, and the Infinite Monkey Cage with Brian Cox and Robin Ince.
Adam’s background is in genetics and evolution. He did a PhD at the Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond St Hospital, studying the role of genes in the development of the eye. He worked as an editor at the science journal Nature, during which time he launched and presented the award-winning Nature Podcast, and he has produced and directed many short films, including a music video tribute to the retiring Space Shuttle.
Robin Ince
Completing the keynote line up and also acting as the shows MC, Robin Ince is many things. A comedian, an author, a broadcaster and a populariser of scientific ideas. He is probably best known as the co-host of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox. He also co-hosts the podcast Book Shambles with Josie Long, An Uncanny Hour and Science Shambles with another keynote speaker Dr Helen Czerski.
As a stand-up he has toured the world and won three Chortle Awards, the Time Out Outstanding Achievement Award and was nominated for the British Comedy Awards Best Live show. He has created, curated, pioneered and hosted numerous nights mixing science, music and comedy at some of the most celebrated venues around the world from the Hammersmith Apollo and the Royal Albert Hall in London to the Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto and The Opera House in Wellington.
Take a stroll through our Exhibition Hall for the latest in lab tech
Our conference schedule is complimented with an exhibition hall demonstrating the latest in laboratory instrumentation, technology and sustainable laboratory solutions. The exhibition hall will feature quality products and services from some of the world’s most recognisable brands in science including Eppendorf, Corning, Ohaus, Kimberly Clark, Smiths Scientific and Sartorius to name a few. Over 70 exhibitors will be showcasing the newest products and latest technological advances available to the UK laboratory market, allowing delegates to find every brand all in one place.
