Brunch Time Lecture with Gitanjali Rao

Join us for the first ever Salters' Institute weekend brunch time lecture.

Our lectures will bring chemistry and how we interact with it to life, in ways you have never imagined. Chemistry can be found everywhere, from the clothes we wear, to the architecture around us, to inventions that help us live in a more sustainable and eco- friendly way.

Our first guest speaker will be 15- year old scientist, inventor and innovator Gitanjali Rao.

Gitanjali was honoured as Forbes “30 Under 30 in Science” in 2019 and TIME’s “Top Young Innovator” and "Kid of the Year" for her innovations and STEM workshops she conducts globally, which have inspired over thirty-eight thousand students in the last two years across four continents. In her sessions, she shares her own process of innovation that can be used by students all over the world. She is a TED speaker and an inventor to watch for the future. In this lecture, Gitanjali will be discussing how chemistry intersects with her incredible inventions including "Tethys"—an early lead detection tool and “Epione”—a device for early diagnosis of prescription opioid addiction using genetic engineering.  This lecture will be followed by the opportunity for the audience to take part in a live Q&A.
