That's a wrap folks! It feels like we're just getting started, but the festival is over for another year. Never fear though, plans are already afoot for 2026. Thank you again to all our speakers, sponsors, volunteers and attendees. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

Tonight is the final event of this year’s festival and we couldn’t be more excited! Our 2025 Peagram Lecture is titled Einstein, Bohr and John Bell: Entanglement, Hidden Variables and Quantum Computers and comes from Professor Tony Hey CBE.

Tonight we’ll be back at the Amey Theatre for the penultimate talk of this year’s festival and we'll be learning about The Whale-Human Interface from Mark Simmonds OBE. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. We hope to see you there!

Well done again to all the speakers at FameLab Academy last night. It's a shame we could only crown one winner when you all did such an excellent job - everyone can be very proud of what they achieved!

This evening we'll be crowning the FameLab Academy regional winner for 2025. No tickets required for this free event, so please come along to cheer these science communicators of the future! Doors open at 7pm and presentations begin at 7:30.

All of our iBricks sessions with House of Fun at Abingdon Guildhall tomorrow are full, but we can't wait to see what you'll be building! Be sure to send photos of all your incredible creations 🧱

Off to @atomscifest.bsky.social to give a talk tonight (tickets still available) and am bringing some ☢️ objects from my collection.
