schools

I have given many talks to local schools at all levels from Key Stage 1 to A level. I will also host Masterclasses on particle physics, dark matter or astronomy here in the Department — please contact me for details. I am a member of the Department's schools liaison team and a co-investigator on our EPSRC-funded Physics in Primary Schools project.

See below for a list of talks for schools.
