Royal Institution Christmas Lectures

The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures are a series of lectures on a single topic, which have been held at the Royal Institution in London each year since 1825, missing 1939-42 due to the Second World War. The lectures present scientific subjects to a general audience, including young people, in an informative and entertaining manner. Michael Faraday initiated the first Christmas Lecture series in 1825. This came at a time when organised education for young people was scarce. Faraday presented a total of nineteen series in all.
==History==

The Royal Institution's Christmas Lectures were first held in 1825, and have continued on an annual basis since then with the exception of during the Second World War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures/history )〕 They are hosted each year at the Royal Institution itself, with the exception of during 1929 and between 2005-2006, each time due to refurbishment of the building. They were created by Michael Faraday, and he went on to host the lecture season on nineteen occasions. Other notable lecturers have included Richard Dawkins, Heinz Wolff, Sir David Attenborough, George Porter, Nancy Rothwell and Carl Sagan. The hosts of the lectures have been predominantly male, with only six female lecturers hosting the events since their inception.〔(Professor from Newcastle becomes only sixth woman to present Royal Institution Christmas Lectures ), Newcastle Chronicle, 2014-08-19〕
The props for the lectures are designed and created by the Ri's science demonstration technician, a post which Faraday previously held. The technician is informed of the general subject of the lectures during spring, but the specifics aren't settled until September, with the recordings made in mid-December.〔 By 2009, the lectures had expanded to a series of five sessions each year. However, in 2010 the Royal Institution cut back on costs as it had become over £2 million in debt. These cost cutting measures included the budget allotted to the Christmas Lectures. This resulted in a reduction from five sessions to three.
