Our next talk will be held over Zoom on Thursday 10th March at 7.30. The speaker will be Andrea Pearson giving a personal overview of the climate emergency. Andrea has kindly given us a precis of the talk and some background information.
Precis
This talk is an update of one originally presented to staff at Paisley Museum Reimagined in November 2021 to mark COP26.
It does not aim to be a fully comprehensive lecture on climate. It’s more of a personal overview of some of the main issues around the Climate Emergency. It covers some climate science, a little of the history, a bit of psychology, biology, some politics, sociology and even some art and culture.
It will also look at some of the things that the museum is planning to do to help tackle climate change, and it explores other initiatives taking place in Paisley. Hopefully it will be a starting point for a lively discussion.
Bio
Andrea Pearson is a journalist currently working at Paisley Museum editing text – as the museum prepares to reopen with new exhibits and interpretation.
She spent 20 years at The Herald where she worked on various Newsquest newspaper titles and magazine publications such as The Sunday Herald Magazine, Business HQ, Luxury and Best of Scotland. Long ago she had a campervan and was the Sunday Herald travel editor. She also worked for several years on The List Eating and Drinking Guide eating her way around Glasgow … and subsequently devised and ran a food and heritage tour of Glasgow.
Although she is not a scientist, she has always had an interest in science – one recently unearthed school report revealed that she was ‘always going on about science documentaries’.
She is absolutely thrilled to have been asked to speak at the PPI.
