The moment they announce the winner of the Royal Society Science Book Prize. I was privileged enough to be a judge for this in 2024 and attended the 2026 ceremony. The winner is The Age of Alchemy: How Early Innovators Shaped Modern Chemistry by Kit Chapman.

Do you read science books? Two years ago, I was a judge for Royal Society Science Book Prize 2024 (and even brought my #UniversityChallenge pal Eric Monkman to meet legendary author Bill Bryson at awards ceremony!) This year, I'm attending as a guest - so I'll wait in suspense for the result...

🧩 Are you someone who loves quizzes, Sudokus, jigsaws or any kind of puzzle? New research from Southampton suggests that memory, logic and reasoning puzzles may help reduce levels of age-related cognitive decline. I spoke to BBC Radio Wales about this 7.55am #puzzles #universitychallenge #quiz
