Science Outreach

‘The more you know, the more you owe’. ― Luis J. Rodríguez, Always Running.

October 2019. An evening of science, art, education and entertainment! The Drosophila Labs explain how we use fruit flies to understand brain function and disease over a beer @Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum   

June 2019. From tiny fruit-flies to great discoveries - Together with the Drosophila Labs at the University of Birmingham we shared our science on fruit flies with the public at the Green Heart Festival.

March 2019. Together with the neuro fly labs from Birmingham University we took part in Brain Awareness Week. This is a public engagement event celebrated worldwide to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research.

November 2018. 'We want to be scientists of fruit flies'.  Children got excited about our outreach activities at the All Saints' C.E. Primary School Alrewas Science Festival. Together with the Hidalgo lab we communicated Drosophila brain research to enthusiastic 'scientists of the future'.
