DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome back the inimitable Dr Andy Szydlo
  for this year's Bonfire Night spectacular Chemistry lecture (his 2008 and
  2012 Cambridge lectures were truly memorable!).\n\nIf you were able to ma
 ke a substance change colour\, or turn from a solid to a liquid\, would th
 at be magic? From a liquid that boils at room temperature to gases that ar
 e heavier than air\, join Dr Szydlo as he explores magical molecules and e
 nchanting elements in this family event full of practical demonstrations o
 f the magic of Chemistry. He will dazzle\, entertain and educate his audie
 nce with a series of spectacular science demonstrations. The reactions the
 mselves will be audibly and visually spectacular\, but the fundamental pur
 pose will be to explain the science behind the effects.\n\nAn enthusiastic
  and engaging science communicator\, Dr Szydlo frequently gives lectures i
 n the UK and has appeared on Channel 4's TV series *That'll teach 'em*. He
  is also an expert on the history of alchemy. His book\, _Water that does 
 not wet hands: The Alchemy of Michael Sendivogius_\, tells the story of an
  unfairly forgotten Polish alchemist.\n\n*WARNING - There will be smoke\, 
 bright flashes and loud bangs!*\n\nThe lecture is for all ages (>8)\, but 
 not suitable for those with a nervous disposition.\n\nFree admission. \nNo
  tickets - so come early to get a good seat. \nDoors open at 18:30.\nPleas
 e contact organisers if you are bringing a large party (>10).\nOrganised b
