Elevating science from the lab to the stage, we bring you the FameLab Regional Final. Our brave and brilliant finalists tread the boards to electrify us with their scientific stagecraft: they have just three minutes to explain a scientific concept or idea without the use of Powerpoint – armed only with their wit and a few props. Previous topics have included climate change, neuroscience and particle physics. There’s not a moment to be missed at the FameLab Oxfordshire Regional Final as our challengers aim for the performance of their lives and compete to represent Oxford at the UK final.

Judges:

Irene Tracey – Professor of Anaesthetic Neuroscience, University of Oxford

Patrick Roche – Professor of Physics, University of Oxford

Lynne Pebworth – Trustee, The Oxford Trust

Compère – Lucy Rogers, science author, inventor, and a judge on the BBC2 show Robot Wars.

Interval act Matt Tompkins, experimental psychologist and a professional magician.
