Does the Spire get taller in the summer? Is buttered toast more likely to fall butter side down? Terence comes prepared for this special episode of Talking Bollox with thanks to Science Week, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
Science week is a national celebration of science with hundreds of events for people of all ages taking place across the country from the 9th – 16th November. This year it’s all about “Then, Today, Tomorrow" and the unexpected experiments that brought about progress, and it's safe to say having a professor come in and answer Terence's questions was an experiment of it's own!
Associate Professor in Science Education at UCD, Shane Bergin was our guest and he explained how science is all around us and why we should nurture our natural curiosity in it.
If you feel inspired after hearing Shane’s passion for science why not get involved in one of the many Science Week events taking place across the country!
