Science show for 1001 Inventions at UNESCO

I worked with chemist Andres Tretiakov and the team at 1001 Inventions to write an interactive script full of action and live demonstrations, Journeys from Alchemy to Chemistry.

A wonderful team of actors performed the show at UNESCO headquarters in Paris for the launch of the International Year of the Periodic Table in front of hundreds of children from surrounding schools.

The groups also enjoyed hands-on chemistry workshops and an animated film narrated by Jim Al-Khalili.

Later, Andres and I were able to expand the scope of the experiments and workshops when the show was staged at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London, where spectacular demonstrations were more part of the daily routine.
