Why does meiosis so often go wrong? And what are the consequences?
Ages: 14-16, 16-19;
Why is symmetry so central to the understanding of crystals? And why did ‘forbidden’ symmetry change the definition of crystals themselves?
Ages: 11-14, 14-16, 16-19;
Science fiction can be an engaging starting point for scientific discussions. Learn how one research group is using Star Wars to introduce students to accelerator science.
