Imperial Lates: Tiny Science
2022-11-17 18:00 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | London, United Kingdom
Explore the little discoveries changing the world with a fun evening of tiny talks, small stands and wee art workshops delivered by life-size scientists.
Highlights include:

From stricter regulations and recyclable bio-alternatives to demonstrating human health risks, our expert panel discuss ways to keep microplastics out of our environment and lungs.
A new Higgs – what will the Large Hadron Collider find next? Learn how the decay of tiny particles produced at CERN could confirm a fifth fundamental force of nature.
Create your own cosmologically festive ornaments inspired by the detection of gravity waves with super cold atoms.
Explore the micro-scale science of how stick insects clamber up walls and how this could inspire tomorrow’s medical plasters and wall-climbing robots.
Discover how atoms absorb and emit light to colour our world. Don a pair of headphones and join a dance lesson inspired by atomic spectra and the parallels between light and sound waves.
Contribute your breath to a balloon installation from artist Beccy Mccray and Imperial microplastic researchers looking at the health impacts of this air pollutant.

Register for Imperial Lates: Tiny Science to join us in South Kensington on 10 November, and we’ll send you the full programme of events at the Lates closer to the evening.
Imperial Lates are most suitable for those over 18s.

Living river mobile workshop and riverbed walk
2023-04-23 11:00 - 14:00 | Museum of London Docklands, No.1 Warehouse, West India Quay, London E14 4AL, London, United Kingdom
Join artist Camilla Brendon to take a closer look at our relationship with the river and learn how to build your mobile from salvaged materials in this workshop celebrating Earth Day. Starting with a riverbank walk to gather materials and inspiration, you’ll journey back to the Museum of London Docklands to design a unique mobile intended as a planter/hanging basket using your finds and provided materials. Seeds will also be supplied to sow in your new mobile as a reminder of the river as you continue to watch them grow at home.

Join guest speakers Joe Pecorelli (ZSL), Vanessa Taylor (University of Greenwich) and Charlie Wood (Environment Agency) at the Museum of London Docklands as they take a closer look at the history and future of the river so central to London’s identities in this Earth Day inspired panel discussion. They will explore the background of Thames pollution and how we can rethink our relationship with the river today.
