#Tyndall200 is a national celebration to mark the bicentennial of John Tyndall, one of Ireland’s most extraordinary and influential scientists. Chosen as the namesake of Tyndall National Institute, his scientific legacy continues to live on through our researchers and their work to this day.
Renowned for his scientific discoveries, John Tyndall was also a gifted teacher and delivered scientific lectures to the public at the prestigious Royal Institution. In honour of his contribution to research excellence and to share his love of science, we’ve launched a series of Tyndall-inspired science experiments that both you and your kids can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.
