Outreach


Our lab is committed to sharing our research with the public and engaging with the community. We believe that science should be accessible to everyone, and we strive to make our work understandable and relatable. We give public lectures and workshops, visit schools and take part in science festivals. We work with local schools on teaching materials and programmes that fit their curriculum. The aim is to interest people of any age in science, and to bring more of them into it.
