    Science thriving right in the centre of London! An excellent place of historic significance for science enthusiasts with regular lectures from experts in their own field covering the great depths and breath of science. Enjoyed an evening with Nobel Laureate Prof Ramakrishnan discussing molecular biology, ageing, ethics all summed up in his book 'Why we die'. To sum it all up very fortunate to have got an author signed copy too.

    It was the first time I've ever been here and will definitely be back there again to learn more about the history of science. A good collection of things to see as well as a cafe downstairs. Available space if you'd like to book an event.

    All about the greats that have been part of RI. Easily done quickly in 30 min, or spend more time to dig into the discoveries and achievements in science accomplished at RI.
