Discovery Talks

Curious about the discoveries shaping our world? 

Join our 15–20 minute Discovery Talks to hear researchers share what they’re exploring, why it matters, and what they’ve uncovered so far. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and you could stay longer to explore the Discovery Day research fair and meet even more of the people behind the research. 

The Talks (Times to be confirmed soon; each talk will happen in both the morning and afternoon Discovery Day sessions) 

• Pond Scum: Friend or Foe? Ash Winter explores the surprising medical potential of algae.  

• The Search for Dark Matter, Sam Eriksen 

• TBC
