We are delighted to welcome Ri favourite Andrew Szydlo back to the Ri once again for an all-new lecture exploring the amazing, and sometimes explosive chemistry of sulfur. Andrew will take us on a whistle-stop tour of the history of this curious element, from it’s discovery in 2000BCE to the present day, recreating some long-lost experiments along the way.
Andrew will explore the amazing 4000 year history of this fascinating element with a desk filled with exciting chemical demonstrations.
