About PSNS – A Society for All
PSNS is one of the oldest Scientific Societies in Scotland. It has always been, and remains today, a ‘Society for All’. It consists of a ‘Parent Body’ as its primary membership with currently four activity groups (or Sections) covering the topics of Botany, Ornithology, Archaeology and History and Photography.
Curious Minds – non-members welcome
PSNS also runs a series of public lectures called ‘Curious Minds‘ on Friday evenings from October to March in partnership with Culture Perth and Kinross. The talks explore Contemporary Science in Scotland with speakers from Universities and other Research Institutions – no jargon and no complicated equations. Talks have ranged from mud houses in Errol through the physiology of seals to the Higgs boson and theories of Consciousness. As one of our guests said “It’s like going to the gym – for your brain”. We are currently developing the talks programme for the 2021/22 winter season.
Over the Winter and Spring 2020/21 PSNS ran a short Zoom series of talks on a variety of topics of local interest. Many of these were presented by our very own home-grown experts and enthusiasts within the Society. Videos of these are available here.
