Description

Join former Christmas lecturers Hugh Montgomery, Saiful Islam and others, as they recreate their best bits from their Lectures and delve into the impact of presenting the longest-running public science engagement Lectures.

In the 2007 CHRISTMAS LECTURES, geneticist Hugh Montgomery lead an exploration of human endurance and the very thin line between life and death. In 2016 Saiful Islam faced a big question - what is energy and where does it come from? How can we best make use of it? and How can we store energy to use later on?

For 200 years, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES have made science accessible to an audience of all ages through an exciting series of demonstrations and experiments. But how do you condense an entire field of study into a short series of televised talks? How does presenting the CHRISTMAS LECTURES impact your research? How has new research changed our understanding of the science?
