Rare decays of beauty quarks that proceed via flavour-changing neutral currents are particularly sensitive to potential contributions from new quantum fields that may lie outside the Standard Model. In the past few years, a series of intriguing anomalies have been seen in beauty quark transitions to strange quarks and two charged leptons, which have generated significant interest in the flavour community. In this talk I will review the current situation and present some recent results from the LHCb experiment, including tests of lepton universality and measurements of the very rare decay of a $B_s^0$ meson to two muons. I will also discuss my own work communicating physics to the general public, through exhibitions and popular science books.
