Scientists on Scientists: Being the Christmas Lecturer - with Chris van Tulleken and Monica Grady

2025 marks the 200 year anniversary of the CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution, as well as Discourses and Michael Faraday’s discovery of Benzene. We’re celebrating throughout the year to mark the occasion, kicking off with a conversation between two previous Christmas Lecturers Chris van Tulleken and Monica Grady. They discuss their experiences giving the lectures, the importance of science communication to young people, and their advice for their successors.  Find out more about the Discover200 campaign: https://www.rigb.org/discover200-ri  This episode was recorded remotely on Monday 16 December 2024.
