A few pictures from my two presentations at the Royal Institution
Many thanks to Charlie Smith and Chris Bishop. The lectures were first to 440 school kids (incredibly noisy lot) and the second talk was to 400+ more adult (family) audience. I don’t think I disgraced myself, and didn’t set light to the RI (although I did get close) – so hopefully I may get invited back one day
The BBC has just published a short podcast on fireworks I did last week to tie up to the RI lectures tomorrow – 5th November
