The Wellcome trust has announced an exciting new project looking for researchers working in biomedical sciences or medical humanities to send in ideas about how to turn their PhD into a game.
The Trust is also looking for game development teams to help turn these ideas into playable video games during a hack session.
The best game that comes out of the hack session will receive additional support and be further developed for release.
This takes public engagement to an exciting new dimension, and we will be keenly awaiting the results!
