August 16, 2024 by Alison Reeves

Hello everyone and welcome to this year’s bonus blog! Though I will be covering multiple days all the events were in the same area I figured let’s just condense it into one post. Bonus day 1 Although yesterday was the official last day of LIYSF, Issie asked me to help her to the airport as … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 13

August 15, 2024 by Alison Reeves

Wow, LIYSF is almost over yet, the general consensus is that it feels like we arrived only yesterday. Even though I’ve met some great people here and would easily spend another month alongside them, this day was dedicated to getting every last second with one of my new best friends, Issie.  From the start of … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 12

August 14, 2024 by Alison Reeves

Hello all and welcome to LIYSF day 12! This morning we kicked off our day with a principal lecture given by one of LIYSF’s alumni. Throughout life, our bodies wear down, whether it’s just old age, something more intensive like sport, or a freak accident causing body trauma. Though our body has some mechanisms to … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 11

August 15, 2024August 13, 2024 by Alison Reeves

Last night, after some careful consideration, I decided to skip today’s day trip to Oxford. As we are nearly at the end of the forum, I want to spend every second of my time with my new mates. For this reason, this blog might seem content dry compared to previous ones. However, for those keen … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 10

August 9, 2024 by Alison Reeves

In all ways imaginable, today was the antithesis of yesterday. Kicking off the day the team from RoboHike walked us through their work on autonomous quadrupedal robots. From the devices and coding used to allow the robots to sense their environment to the current and future uses of autonomous robots in our society we at … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 9

August 9, 2024 by Alison Reeves

With so many extra trips and lectures I chose for this London holiday it’s hard to remember what options I have chosen and what days they fall on. Ironically enough, I didn’t know that this morning I would be attending a lecture on neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia given by Rubile Balendendra. Similarly, I couldn’t … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 8

August 6, 2024August 6, 2024 by Alison Reeves

In my infinite wisdom, I’ve ended up booking myself to visit Oxford three separate times during my travels. Thus I decided to really take my time here. Starting off we began our visit with a guided tour of Oxford’s History of Science Museum and given an in-depth lesson on astrolabes. Photo 1: Astrolabe Esoteric in … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 7

August 6, 2024August 6, 2024 by Alison Reeves

As I chose my specialist lectures and other events months ago it can be hard to remember what I signed up for. Meeting up with my lecture group I learned that the first topic of the day would be a familiar one for me, particle physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Thankfully my current … Read more

LIYSF 2024 – Day 6

August 6, 2024August 6, 2024 by Alison Reeves

We began our day, once again, on the bus, this time we were headed to the Mullard Space Science Laboratory. Though we travelled through the countryside, given the nature of modern science I assumed we were just travelling to another city centre. You can imagine my surprise when the bus dropped us off in the … Read more

Hello everyone and welcome to LIYSF day 5! After the long day trips and early mornings of the last couple of days it was nice to have our first event at 9:30 this morning; Who doesn’t love to wake up and start the day with a particle physics lecture? Being the first time I could … Read more
