Royal Institution Christmas Lectures past and present
We look back at classic lectures from Christmases past and catch up with this year’s presenter, neuroscientist Sophie Scott.
Since they were launched by Michael Faraday in 1825, the Royal Institution’s Christmas Lectures have become as synonymous with the festive season as mince pies and sherry. In this month’s podcast we look back at classic lectures from Christmases past with marine biologist and BBC Focus Q&A expert Helen Scales, and catch up with this year’s presenter, neuroscientist Sophie Scott.
