Amanda Tyndall, Edinburgh Science Festival and Creative Director EDINBURGH Science Festival has launched its programme for this year’s festival which has moved from its traditional Eastertime dates to a new summer slot between June 26 and July 11. The world’s first and still Europe’s biggest science festival will have its 33rd incarnation this year, and will be a mixture of online and “in person” events. The theme will be One World: Science Connects Us, a fact which has been demonstrated on a daily basis since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Amanda Tyndall, Edinburgh Science Festival and Creative Director, said: “It is an understatement to say that it has been an exceptional year. But if nothing else it has demonstrated just how intimately interconnected our world is, and that it is more crucial than ever that we acknowledge the value of this connectivity.
