Who Needs Geologists?

The Role of Geology in the Energy Transition, with Mike Simmons

Although geology may bring to mind the study of dinosaurs, volcanoes, and plate tectonics, the majority of geologists are engaged in activities which help find energy, mineral, and water resources that are essential for society, but which may have major environmental impacts. So how will geologists’ roles change as we move to a low carbon economy? Come along and judge for yourself if they are “the good guys” or “the bad guys” in developing a prosperous, yet sustainable, global society.

Mike Simmons works as a geologist for Halliburton at Milton Park and holds honorary positions at the University of London and the Natural History Museum.

Join us via Zoom from 7.15pm on

Submitted by ingenium
on Thu, 27/08/2020 - 2:00pm

96% of us rely on the other 4% to give blood - don't leave it to someone else. If you’re generally healthy and aged between 17 and 65, you can probably donate.

The next donation session will be at Old Mill Hall, Grove (instead of The Beacon, Wantage) and is on Thursday, 27th August between 13.15 & 19.15.

Here is the advice re donating during COVID19 lock-down:-

For your trouble, you'll enjoy a complimentary cup of tea and selection of biscuits, alongside the satisfaction of knowing that you're actively helping others.

Can you give blood?

Most people can give blood, but before the NHS can accept your blood they need to ensure there's no risk of harming you or the patients who will receive it. Use the below links to the Give Blood website to see if you are eligible to give blood:-

From February 2012, male blood donors can increase frequency of donating to a maximum of 4 times in 12 months at an interval of not less than 12 weeks.

Register as a blood donor:-

Giving blood is quick, easy and most importantly, it saves lives. Simply fill in the form by clicking <here> to register your interest in becoming a blood donor or to come along to a session near you.

Learn more by visiting the Blood Donation service website:-

  • www.blood.co.uk
  • or by calling 0300-123-23-23 (calls are normally charged at your providers (eg BT) local rate).

Are you an existing blood donor?
