The annual Barts and Queen Mary Science Festival is back for 2024 with a one-day virtual event taking place on Monday 24th June 2024. It’s a family-friendly science festival for older secondary school children.

The event will be particularly relevant for pupils who might be considering medicine or medicine-related careers, and for teachers and careers advisors – please pass on to your colleagues and, for computing teachers, please note Tatiana’s 10am and Paul’s 11.25am talks which mix computing / technology and medicine.

The talks will take place over Teams and Zoom and if you’d like to register your class for a place please contact Jane Batchelor at sciencefestival@qmul.ac.uk.
