The Future Chemistry Hub Talk: Freya McGhee is a free event at the University of Southampton Highfield Campus in Southampton on 16 September 2026, where attendees can learn about journeys into Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Join us to learn about journeys into Chemistry and Chemical Engineering as part of the 2026 British Science Festival!
What happens if you hold Caesium in your bare hands? How many bananas do you have to eat to become radioactive? And what happens when a comedian tries to explain the periodic table? Join stand-up STEM comedian and author, Freya McGhee, for a session exploring the strange stories behind the periodic table - and why on earth she’s the person discussing it. Then it’s over to you: Can you beat the comedian to the punchline of a periodic table joke?
