Do you ever think about what your brain does when it's solving a puzzle? Two weeks ago, I was at @GreenManFest running “Mind Games: your brain on puzzles” in Einstein’s Garden alongside @CurlyFriedMaxMH, @Eva_Higg and @dralicemorrell

In this second episode, Georgina explains how to move forward and backward while #IceSkating. She demonstrates how spinning utilises angular momentum and discusses the mechanics of jumping, including the vertical push and the impact forces upon landing. #Physics #WhatsYourGame

In this 2-episode series, PhD student Georgina Leadley explores the captivating sport of ice skating. In the first episode, she explains the physics of friction on the ice. #Iceskating is both beautiful and challenging due to minimal #friction between the blades and the ice.
