Royal Institution Schools Quantum Event

Researchers from Westminster’s School of Life Sciences Quantum Biology Lab led by Dr Rhys Mould were invited by the Royal Institution to lead an interactive activity for sixth form students at the Quantum Schools Celebration, sharing their pioneering research in quantum biology. The event was hosted by the Institute of Physics (IOP) in collaboration with the Royal Institution (RI) as part of UK Quantum Week. 

The event brought together around 150 sixth form students at the RI on 7 November as part of the IOP’s UK Quantum Week, held to celebrate the United Nations’ Year of Quantum. The programme consisted of a variety of talks, demonstrations and hands-on activities from universities and research institutes across the UK designed to spark an interest in the rapidly growing field of quantum science.
