Hello all, it's time for QUIRK+!

Having been in the works for months now, it's finally ready to happen. Tickets are now available below (they are free):

KING'S: https://QuirkPlusAtKings.eventbrite.co.uk
CAMBRIDGE: https://QUIRKPlusAtCambridge.eventbrite.co.uk

*Note: A ticket for the King's part won't be valid for Cambridge, and vice versa. You have to get both to be able to attend both.*

What is QUIRK+?

Essentially, it's a day of talks by students, for an audience of students, organised by students.

Ever wanted to learn about black holes? Philosophy of physics? The physics of coffee?! You can learn about all of that, and much, much more.

This year we've expanded to Surrey, Southampton, Bath, Oxford and Cambridge, as well as EPFL and TUM. We've even spread it to two days, due to sheer popularity. There's more information on the links. Hope to see you there!

(lunch is free and provided)
