Public Engagement
We are very keen to talk with members of the public about our work. Please contact us if you would like to know more. In addition we can visit Schools to talk about magnetic resonance (we even have a portable EPR spectrometer), spectroscopy in general (with flame tests), magnetism, bacteria, antibiotics, being a woman in science or a variety of other topics. I have developed a primary school engagement activity called Atomic Colour which has also been used at Science Open Days. I am the course lecturer for the Properties of Matter section in the Massolit resources available to secondary schools.
Janet is a STEM ambassador.
