As usual, National Science Week—or, more accurately, National Science Month—was a busy time for public outreach and engagement. EQUS participated in three main initiatives: the National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip, Shirty Science and the National Science Quiz. The three events, supposedly unrelated other than all being science outreach during (and funded by) National Science Week, ended up having chance crossover between them!
We also subsequently learned that the National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip was the biggest event of National Science Week—what an achievement and credit to all the work that goes into it!
