Festival of Learning 2017 – What could you do? Apply before Friday 2nd December!

BU research, Events, Festival of Learning, Impact, Public engagement, Uncategorized Joanna Pawlik

Do you have a fantastic piece of research that you’d like to develop into a public engagement event? You still have one more week to apply for Festival of Learning 2017!

What you research often determines how you will engage with the public and who your work will impact; nevertheless people love to learn about what you do and appreciate short demonstrations.

Getting drunk with 302 brain cells – what we learn from a worm?

Prof Lindy Holden-Dye from Southampton University studies the brain of a simple nematode worm, which has just 302 brain cells, to learn how alcohol affects the human nervous system. In October she gave a talk to Café Scientifique’s audience in which she talked about her research but also showed the equipment she used in a lab. Prof Lindsy Holden-Dye also talked about her relations with the worms and event brought few with her to show them to the audience.We have appreciated short demonstrations on how to handle nematode worms as well as the process of getting them drunk.
