On 19^th March, the Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen will be hosting a careers talk evening aimed at secondary school girls across Aberdeen (and beyond). The event is being run by Aberdeen Science Grrls, some of whom work here at the Laboratory, and they will be joined by other Marine Scotland Science colleagues Dafne Eerkes-Medrano and Lynda Blackadder who will be talking about their work. Tickets are free so if you know any youngsters who might be inspired by listening please pass on the information or bring them along on the night. You can also register here.

If you are keen, you can follow the registration link (above) and share it on your own facebook page to help spread the word. If you use twitter follow us @sciencequines. Or if you want to be a Science Grrl, get in touch at sciencegrrlsinaberdeen@gmail.com.

The event is being run as part of a wider set of events for British Science week taking place from the 13th to the 22nd of March. The programme has events for people of all ages and interests, including talks and activity days. Leaflets describing the event can be found here.

Aberdeen Science Grrls will also be involved in the Discovery Day at Aberdeen Science Centre, Satrosphere, on the 21st of March, which is an event for families with the focus more on primary aged children.
