University Challenge Final - 4th April 2022

Today was the University Challenge final between Reading and Imperial. M had an interview with the Reading Chronicle in the afternoon. We watched the final down the Castle Tap and there was a big turnout.

Imperial started off strongly but Reading came back and nudged in front. M got 2 starters but it finished......
Such a shame just one question in it but there was spontaneous loud applause in the pub for M as everyone appreciated what a great achievement it was. Here's the team with Nobel prize winner Andre Geim who presented the prize.
Another great photo of the team.
A second interview also appeared in the Reading Chronicle where she defended her age. Michael has made a couple of good tweets.





On Tuesday morning both Michael and M gave interviews to BBC Radio Berks. There was also an article in the Guardian. There are lots of comments at the end of the article quite a few suggesting students of M's age should not be allowed to enter. This caused her to retweet the article from the Reading Chronicle about the issue which then got picked up by the Sun.
