“We’re asking schools to sign-up and take advantage of the Christmas Lectures Pandemic Prevention Zone, as a golden opportunity for students to speak directly with active research
scientists and other experts. Having spent most of my career as a teacher, I remember just how impactful contact with relatable role models can be in terms of our young people’s academic development.”
The Pandemic Prevention Zone is running in January 2022.
It’s an online activity that students can take part in from home.
The Zone is open to all schools in the UK and Ireland and is suitable for students aged 10 to 18.
