RSC Family Lecture: How to see, hear and smell the structure of molecules

31 January @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Free
After a brief hiatus last year, we’re delighted to bring back our Family Lecture series in 2026. This engaging one‑hour talk explores how chemists uncover the shapes and bonds of molecules using smart techniques and creative thinking. Expect surprising demonstrations, including flying chocolates, musical aspirin, and a touch of quantum chemistry that glows.
Following the lecture, families are invited to stay for a hands‑on science games session from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm. There’ll be wide range of fun boardgames for all ages to try their hand at and even many built around chemical compounds—something for everyone.
