A recent Outreach and Education Committee project has been the collection of songs from the history of science.

This resulted in a lyric-writing competition in 2009 (winners here), in a blog containing historic examples, and in a session at ‘Outreach Day’ at the 2010 Aberdeen conference.

In March 2012 the BSHS Outreach and Education Committee is supporting The Observatory Pinafore, which is being performed at the Corpus Playroom in Cambridge.
