IOP Schools Talk: 22nd November 2011

The 2011 Institute of Physics Schools Lecture will be given at the University of Sussex on the 22nd November.

The lecture, by Dr Michael Wilson of Birmingham University, will tell the amazing story of how physicists have developed sophisticated techniques to allow doctors to see inside the body without the need for surgery, by using x-rays, radioactive molecules and magnetic fields.

This inspiring lecture will be held throughout the day at 1.30pm, 4pm (for schools and colleges) and 7pm (for everyone!). To book a place for your school or college students, please email physicsoutreach@sussex.ac.uk
