Event Description
Explore the remarkable legacy of Thomas Andrews, the pioneering 19th-century scientist, first Professor of Chemistry and first Vice-President of Queen’s University Belfast.
In an engaging fireside chat, Dr Patricia Marr and Dr Kevin Morgan from Queen’s School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering join local historian and honorary graduate Dr Tom Hartley to reflect on Andrews’ groundbreaking discoveries in chemistry and his influence on the growth of science, education, and civic life in Belfast.
This conversation will uncover how Andrews’ work under pressure, both scientific and societal, helped shape Queen’s University and the city it calls home. Part of Queen’s University 180 Years of Hope and History celebrations.
