Event Details

We celebrate the magic of inventions: yours, ours and Trevor Baylis’s.

Trevor Baylis, inventor of the wind-up radio, tells tales of his life in a world where people started by dismissing his inventions and ended by trying to steal them. Jonathan Hare shares some funny, inspiring and perhaps perception-changing stories from his own experience of science, and professor Alison Bruce explains the latest developments at the University of Brighton’s nuclear structure physics group. A packed evening where you get to roll up your sleeves and play too.
