Carl Sagan sent a message out to the Universe during his 1977 #XmasLectures. Here is how far that message would have travelled at the speed of light since then. Credit: Royal Institution of Great Britain


Once the world's biggest working pencil, this is one of the most iconic #XmasLectures props, created for Philip Morrison's 1968 series. ✏️ Historian Katy Duncan tells us about this piece that's writefully earned its place among some of the coolest things in our archive.


Great to pop into @ri_science this morning to talk all things #XmasLectures before heading to @newscientistlive HQ to listen to the ever-inspiring @jamiebgall and network with other passionate professionals #SciComm #PublicEngagement #ScienceIsEverywhere #DrJoScience #BeCurious

Barry Smith (@smithbarryc) showed us some of the ways food companies can "trick" our brains into eating more of their products. Here's something you've heard before in fizzy drinks adverts: see if you can tell the sound of hot water being poured vs cold water.🥤 #XmasLectures


See what happened when Science+Nature readers got to interview @DoctorChrisVT. 📺 You can catch all the @Ri_Science #ChristmasLectures on the @BBCiPlayer. #XmasLectures


This is an oxidation reaction 🔥 Materials engineer @zoelaughlin shows us a fast (and fiery!) one, but others happen inside our bodies when we eat. 📺 The 2024 #XmasLectures about the science of food are available on BBC iPlayer (UK) and YouTube (rest of the world)

The first of this year's @Ri_Science #ChristmasLectures is on at 9pm tonight. We'll be watching @DoctorChrisVT talk about the science of eating. See what happened when we asked Dr Chris questions sent in by Science+Nature readers. #XmasLectures


We're not at liberty to reveal the highly complex, leading-edge technology behind the Foodamatic 3000, but we can tell you Millie played a part in it. #XmasLectures

Rigorous, peer reviewed science about the harms of UPF - touched upon in last year’s @Ri_Science #XmasLectures

Ultra Processed Food, and the system that produces it, has overtaken tobacco in terms of health and economic harms, and is also the leading cause of plastic pollution, loss of biodiversity and deforestation, and the second leading cause of emissions. This week @TheLancet

Goat time at the #XmasLectures on the BBC now:


#OnThisDay 1799 the Royal Institution @Ri_Science was founded. Happy birthday! Reminds me of my happy (& stressful) days doing the BBC RI #XmasLectures in 2016 on the theme of energy - where we gained a Guinness World Record for the highest voltage lemon battery.

Have you heard that #OperationOuch superscientist @DoctorChrisVT is presenting this year's @Ri_Science's #Xmaslectures? We've got a chance to interview him – let us know what questions your kids would love to ask him about food and digestion ⬇️ 📸 © Paul Wilkinson Photography

#OnThisDay 1791 - one of my scientific heroes Michael Faraday was born. He came from a humble background to become Professor at @Ri_Science & Fellow of @royalsociety, making major scientific contributions especially on electromagnetism. Also founded the famous RI #xmaslectures.

At the lovely Royal Institution @Ri_Science & its cafe. Flattered & honoured to see this photo displayed from my BBC RI #XmasLectures. Like Michael Faraday, I was talking about the chemistry & energy of a candle. But not four candles! (Photo @PWilkinsonPhoto)

Happy 99th birthday to the absolute OG, Sir David Attenborough! 🎂 In 1973, he broke the cardinal rule of TV to "never work with animals or children", giving us a most amazing #XmasLectures series, all about the language of animals. Watch here: rigb.org/explore-scienc…

And how could we forget Winston the van Tulleken family cat, who taught us an important lesson about pets really being like family – so much so, that we share parts of our gut microbiome with them! #XmasLectures
