The E-M Spectrum (and how we measure it)
In a demo-rich talk, we'll visit the spectrum from lowest frequency balloon waves (when you manually move a charged balloon up and down!), to gamma rays and everything between. As I'm from the UK's National Measurement Institute I'll include tales of how our diverse staff measure and use it in metrology. I plan to travel nationwide, so demos will fit in a suitcase with videos of the more bulky demos, so a good AV system at your place is essential.

Currently I'm mostly limited to online but have done some pretty engaging online workshops and talks with good interactions.
Pet topics:
colour measurement (because that's what I professionally did for many years);
international system of units (SI) definitions and realisation;
electronic music instruments (hobby);
running fun measurement workshops (e.g. making pendulums);
liquid nitrogen or water demo talks.
As film-maker I'm happy to be involved in film related activities.
