Hi All!

As Chairperson of the Institute of Physics’ London and South East Branch I would like to invite you to the FINAL of the IOP’s national science communication competition, 3 Minute Wonder

Date: Thurs May 5th 2016

Venue: The Royal Institution of Great Britain, London

Time: 18:00–21:00

 

3 Minute Wonder (3MW) challenges researchers in physics-related fields (industry or academia) to explain their work to the public in - you've guessed it - just three minutes. Participants are scored by a panel of experts with points awarded for physics content, presentation skill, level of engagement and entertainment value.

 

We have 10 early career researchers from across the country ready to compete and our judging panel consists of:

·        Maggie Philbin (Tech Journalist, CEO TeenTech)

·        Fran Scott (Science Presenter, CBBC)

·        Marek Kukula (Public Astronomer, Royal Observatory)

·        Helen Thomas (BBC science, producer)

It really is a great evening and a true celebration of UK research

Should you be available on the 5th and would like to attend then please do come along. So that we can keep track of audience numbers please register by following the link on the web page below:
