Royal Society of Chemistry Lecture for Schools – Seeing the Invisible
‘Seeing the invisible’ Prof Andy Beeby (Durham University) Suitable for Year 10 – Year 12 pupils. We take vision for granted, but beyond the limits of the visible spectrum there lies a wealth of spectral information waiting to be discovered. Some creatures already know about this – for example cats, dogs and many insects can…
Medicine – Not Just About Medics
The subject of Medicine interests many students, however they won’t all become doctors. Teams of scientists, engineers and mathematicians work alongside medical doctors, helping them to understand the spread of disease, discover better treatments and cures, and develop technology to aid more accurate diagnosis and treatment. This event will provide more information about how STEM…
