Things scientists don't know yet (family)

Have you ever wondered how the universe will end? What about why we dream? Or even why are there so many beetles?! Join author Peter Gallivan to explore the curious and surprising corners of science like these, places where we don't quite know the answers... Yet!

Peter will take you on a voyage of discovery to the edges of uncertainty, showcasing just how scientists actually work to uncover new facts about the world and beyond. The Ri demo team will also be on hand to help bring to life these at times head-scratching topics.

This talk is based on Peter's new book 'Things Science Doesn't Know Yet' published by DK Books, in partnership with The Royal Institution. Perfect for budding scientists or those curious about the world, it's the ultimate guide to the mysteries that keep scientists awake at night!

Pete's book will be available for purchase after the show.
