Have you ever heard about The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures? Every year at the U, they do their version of these lectures known as the Faraday Lectures. According to the University of Utah: "Michael Faraday - the discoverer of electromagnetic induction, electro-magnetic rotations, the magneto-optical effect, diamagnetism and field theory – was born in London in 1791. Faraday served as director of the Royal Institute in London and enhanced its reputation as a center for scientific research and education. A gifted lecturer, he began presenting his Christmas Lectures for Children at the Royal Institute in the 1820s. With Faraday as their guide, audiences entered wholeheartedly into the world of science."

Although tickets are already sold out, you can watch a televised version of the Faraday Lectures on UEN at these dates and times: 
  • Monday, December 9, @ 9 pm
  • Saturday, December 14, @ 3 pm
  • Saturday, December 21, @ 4 pm
  • Tuesday, December 24, @ 8 pm
Hope you enjoy it!
