Oct 8th 7.00pm (BST) Getting the Science Right: Brian Price

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/getting-the-science-right-brian-price-tickets-1014500738017

Planning to poison? Hoping to blow something up? Fire a pistol at close range? Great storytelling is based in getting your facts right from the start. Crime writer, chemist and biologist Brian Price talks us through some of the most common errors and how to avoid them. 

Brian spent 26 years teaching science and technology courses for the Open University.  He worked for the Environment Agency for 12 years and has also been an environmental consultant and a pharmacy technician, analysing drugs.  In 2016 he set up a website (www.crimewriterscience.co.uk ),  designed to help crime writers avoid simple mistakes involving physics, chemistry and biology. In 2019 he expanded this greatly, producing the book Crime writing: How to Write the Science (Studymates).
