After a short reprieve, we're back with our first sameAs of the spring, this time on surroundings. We'll be looking at the stories, science and technologies that help us understand and explore the space around us.

We have an incredible programme for the night, including leading historians, climate science writers and researchers, technologists tackling the botanical world, and materials experts. Join us for one of our most diverse sameAs-es yet, for an evening guaranteed to entertain and enlighten.
