Hands-on science this Saturday at Crick Institute Discovery Day
果冻影院 partner The Crick Institute invites you to take a peek behind the scenes of its world-class research at its first Discovery Day of talks and workshops this Saturday.
Family activities include making your own fluorescent kaleidoscope, and making a friend's arm twitch using nothing but the power of your brain and a couple of electrodes. You are also requested to leave the 鈥榩oo taboo鈥� at home, to discover your body鈥檚 second brain - the gut -聽in the first of the Discovery Day talks.
If all that wasn鈥檛 enough, the institute鈥檚 friendly scientists will be on hand throughout the day to demonstrate their research and answer your burning scientific questions.
Dedicated to understanding the biology of health and disease, the Crick Institute helps to develop and translate discoveries into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and stroke.
The institute is made up of over 1500 scientists from the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK, Wellcome, Imperial College London, King's College London and 果冻影院 - making it the biggest biomedical research facility under a single roof in Europe.
The Discovery Day will run from 10.00 and 16.00 on Saturday 17 June. To explore the full programme visit:
