Each year the Youth Lecture provides school students and their teachers with an engaging talk about physics from a professional. This year the Youth Lecture has a medical physics theme and the tour is jointly sponsored by the AIP and the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine, enabling talks to be given at 8 venues in metropolitan and regional Queensland. Dr Stephen Hughes from QUT will speak on "Jeni: A tale of Modern Medicine and Ancient Egypt (or, how to unwrap a mummy using X-rays)".
