History, Manchester science
For 150 years, The University of Manchester has been a powerhouse of science and technology - from chemistry and dyestuffs to the making of atomic physics, and from principles of engineering and the structure of molecules to bacteriology and computing. Join Professor John Pickstone and follow these vital histories; find out about Rutherford and Geiger, the Manchester computer, Turing and a host of Nobel prize-winners. Discover how these histories connect with present day science, including the recent Nobel prizes for physics.
Meet at the main entrance of The Manchester Museum.
