CLEAPSS ran five hands-on workshops presented four lectures and attended the primary science pop-up workshop during the 2018 ASE Annual Conference in Liverpool. For those unable to make it to the conference, we have collated the experiences of visitors to our workshops and lectures, to give an overview of the wide range of topics and procedures covered during our time at Liverpool. These range from microscale chemistry and how to store chemicals safely to emergent new physics equipment and making density cocktails in primary science.
