Professor Richard Handy opens The Plymouth Athenaeum’s 2018 Autumn Lecture series with ‘It’s a Small World – The Wonders of Nanotechnology’ on Thursday, September 27 (7.30pm).
All new technology needs to deliver benefits to society whilst also remaining safe for the environment and for human health. Richard Handy has spent the last decade researching and writing about the science of nanomaterials and how we use them.
Nanotechnology is finding its way into every aspect of our ...daily lives including our food, clothing, and household goods; but it is also pushing the frontiers of science with revolutionary new medicines, imaging technologies, electronics, robotics, industrial materials, and synthetic biology.
Nanotech offers many potential benefits, but what are the dangers of going down this ‘high tech’ road?
Richard Handy, pictured above, is a Professor in the School of Biological and Marine Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering) at Plymouth University.
Prof Handy has served on many international working groups and scientific committees; most recently on nanomaterials for the OECD, US NNI, and founder member of the UK Nanotechnology task force working on aspects of ecotoxicology. He also advises on animal welfare and alternative techniques, and is expert on whole animal biology.
Lectures are free and open to the public.
If wheelchair access is required please contact The Athenaeum in advance on (01752) 266079 or via email at info@plymouthathenaeum.co.uk

Coming to The Plymouth Athenaeum during this year's Plymouth Art Weekender...

Wonderful to see the Athenaeum being used again had a great evening there watching Dracula The Bloody Truth and look forward to more performances in the future x

What a great venue.... Would be lovely to see more gigs there..... Will definitely keep an eye on it....���

Went to see Xmas carol. It was a great production. And theatre was very good,comfortable seats, staff very helpful. A great night.

Went to see The Christmas Carol.

Fantastic. Myself and my daughter really enjoyed it.

Went to see Christmas Carol on my Family's advice as they had been to a few of there shows and always raved about it.

i must say that no matter what your Age these four Guys who perform this show are Brilliant actors they perform so well together and interact well with the Audience, it it so well put together, and acted so brilliantly that the 2 hours flew by. What i would say if you or your family wan't a good afternoon's entertainment, get yourself down to the Athenaeum you will not be disappointed. (shall be Retuning to support this wonderful group.)

We need to get together and return this place to its former glory. Such a wonderful place to stage local events for the community and for those who can't afford to pay high end theatre prices

Really good music​ venue, with history. Will definitely go again. A lovely building, glad it is back...

Love this small friendly theatre. So glad it's had a new lease of life. I remember staging a show here for BBC Radio Devon during "Music Live" in 2000. Looking forward to being in the audience for plenty more shows. :-)

Great place for live music, loved the show .

Fab to be back at The Plymouth Athenaeum this evening for a totally amazing performance of Le Navet Bete, Dracula: The Bloody Truth!! ���� ��Brilliant guys � thanks for a great evening x see you again soon �

Brilliant day at the kids comedy show yesterday. Would definitely go again. The staff were helpful and polite and the kids loved it

Awesome old place, so much character. Saw the Steampunk adaptation of Jack the Ripper. Brilliant evening.

After I turned up for the evening performance instead of the afternoon the staff were amazing, they fitted us in without a fuss. We saw A Christmas Carol, absolutely brilliant, we all laugh so hard we cried. Even the teenager was impressed �

A really great place for music. Loved it.Would go again.
