If you came to any of our events in 2019, thank you so much. We enjoyed travelling around the country, promoting the idea that science is fun!

We’re currently planning an exciting programme of events for the coming year. We look forward to seeing you at one of them

Keep watching, I’m adding more and more events all the time.

ELEMENT OF THE MONTH

There are two reasons I've chosen Oxygen as this month's element.The first is this year's Nobel Prize has been awarded to William Kaelin and Gregg Semenza from the US and British scientists Peter Ratcliffe for their discovery on finding out how cells adapt a fluctuating oxygen levels which could help find new ways to fight diseases like cancer and anaemia.

And the second is the discovery that a spike in the oxygen level in the Martian atmosphere has been measured, why has this happened? Well they don't know yet, but it seems to be associated with the ebb flow of atmospheric methane on mars. (There are plenty of mysteries out there.)

And on a fun note... Mars is associated with with iron from Greek mythology, and Mars is red because of the iron oxide on its surface! How about that for coincidence? Or did our ancestors associate the red blood of a battle field and rusty swords with the red glow of Mars? I wonder?!
