Chemistry Open Day Saturday 16 March 2024
Booking for the Open Day lectures is now open and this year we are offering two lectures. A demonstration lecture 'Just Add Water' by Professor Peter Wothers which explores the remarkable properties of this familiar liquid, while Professor Erwin Reisner will look at the latest technologies for the production of sustainable fuels and chemicals from air, water and waste powered by sunlight in his lecture 'Capturing Sunlight for a Sustainable Future'.
As well as the lectures our Open Day is a popular drop-in event with hands-on science activities and demonstrations, and includes activities like the infamous slime pond and extracting DNA from fruit.
