The future world of work will demand STEM skills, but what do STEM skills really look like?
This Free virtual conference will explore how STEM is being used in a range of industries and careers and inspire students with stories, presentations, and demonstrations by industry leaders to consider a career in STEM.
In this train the trainer session James Driscoll, Assistant Lecturer, Sedimentology & Basin Analysis Group, School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment, will discuss the differences between weather and climate, thus dispelling one of the most common myths regarding Anthropogenic Climate Change (including some infamous Trump Tweets).
