The royal society
The Royal Society has taught me so much over the years that I have to include them as teachers.
From Amazing Talks by Nick Lane and others, I have gained an incredible insight into how the world and universe work, yet these are generally very accessible and fun talks aimed at the general public and free too.
Talks
I won’t include all the talks I have watched, just some to demonstrate the quality and variety of what they offer.
