Electrifying Santa!
WMG at the 神马福利影片鈥檚 Widening Participation Co-ordinator, Dr Phil Jemmett, delivered important sustainability advice to Santa, at a special
interactive Christmas Lecture.
De-carbonisation of the transport network is a key area for researchers at WMG, so it seemed only sensible to offer advice to Santa on a more sustainable approach.
Dr Jemmett explained: 鈥淲ith the population across the world increasing and carbon emissions in the air, we really need to help Santa become more environmentally friendly.
鈥淲e looked at different motor models including petrol, diesel and electric, and invited volunteers on to stage to play a game that demonstrates efficiency. We had a Team Petrol and Team Electric – each using a winch to lift stockings into the air for Santa to deliver, with Team Electric winning the race!鈥
Dr Jemmett, who was joined on stage by Chief Elf, WMG Engineering Technician, Bethany Haynes, presented to hundreds of children and families in December.
Claire Edwards, who was a guest at the lecture said: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 come to the Christmas Lectures with a child, I bring my 84-year-old father who is a massive fan of the Christmas Lectures and enjoys Warwick鈥檚 just as much.鈥
