As reported in the 25ᵗʰ October edition of the Henley Standard, Quintessa has become a sponsor of Cafe Scientifique, where for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine anyone can explore the latest ideas in science and technology. The Henley-on-Thames branch is particulary active in bringing leading-edge science to the public at large.
Monthly talks and discussions have built up a strong following, and have enthralled audiences with speakers from Henley and from the universities in Oxford, Reading and London. Recent talks have covered: the origins of meteorites; artificial intelligence; the ageing brain; and stem cells and the promise of regenerative medicine.
