Dear Young People and Parents of Stewarton Academy,

The third and final “Science in Stewarton” event of 2023 will be running 1830-2000 on Thursday 30^th March at the Academy.  Once more the Institute of Physics Scotland is looking forward to giving young people and their families in the community a chance to learn about recent developments in science.

The evening will be led by Dr Sophie Renner of the Particle Physics Theory Group at the University of Glasgow.  She will give a presentation entitled “The Lives of Particles” which will look at the history of particles, some of which have been around since the dawn of the Universe itself! She will also talk about her own career and the places that studying physics has taken her.  Once again there will be hands-on demonstrations for people to play with and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.  More details can be found on the link at the bottom of this message.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes,

Dr Peter H. Sneddon
