Testimonial
“Maria has delivered her Extreme temperatures demonstration lecture to a variety of audiences at Malvern College and her enthusiasm is utterly infectious. She engages the audience with plenty of interaction and delivers the concepts in such a way that everyone in the audience gains some understanding. The demonstrations are mind-boggling at times!“ Natalie Watson, Head of Science, Malvern College
