“Thanks for a superb show last week. It really did lift the mood of our Year 9’s and especially the Year 11’s. Your performance brings energy and humour to science in the right measure and for the second time you have left us with huge smiles all round and inspired some youngsters to not only run away to the circus, but to maybe study science as well!“
