Professor Brad Gibson knows how to get young ones interested in science: talk to them about the stinking gas cloud at the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, the search for alien life, or technology like WiFi developed through the study of outer space.
It also helps if, as a bonus, some lucky pupils get to hold a piece of the moon in their hands. And now the University of Hull physics professor has made his 1,000th visit to a school in the region after notching up a list of 100 schools hooked on his talks.
His 1,000th visit was made on Wednesday, October 17, to Thoresby Primary School, the seventh time he has visited the west Hull school since 2019. Prof Gibson, who almost every week is stopped in the street by a student or a parent who want to thank him for sharing his knowledge, said: “I really like it when I manage to maintain a relationship with a school because you get to see children progress and you can really help build their imaginations and knowledge.
