Innovating in Combat, end of Summer update

Innovating in Combat began August with two evening lectures in Cornwall, delivered by the project’s postdoctoral researcher Elizabeth Bruton.  The lectures were held at the Marconi Centre, Poldhu and Porthcurno Telegraph Museum with both attended by about 30 people – a good attendance for sunny evenings in Cornwall!  We also have numerous forthcoming lectures in the last three months of the year.  Graeme and Elizabeth will be giving lectures before audiences at the Royal Society, the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB), the IEEE History Center, the Science Museum, and Leeds Cafe Scientifique to name but a few!  Please do check out our project events page at http://blogs.mhs.ox.ac.uk/innovatingincombat/events/ for more information.

Elizabeth was also down in London recording with Lisa Jardine for BBC Radio 4’s “Seven Ages of Science” and will be talking about World War One and World War Two on the next week’s episode, “Age of War” to be broadcast on 10 September.  See http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0380wf8 for further details and to listen.
