The Stokes Society is Pembroke College’s science society that’s open to everybody (“Not Just For Pembroke, Not Just For Scientists”) providing a range of interesting and stimulating talks on areas of science both popular and obscure from all disciplines â our term card has something for everybody!
The society also holds an annual cocktail evening, garden party and black tie dinner to encourage the blurring of subject boundaries (along with the blurring of your vision).
