Public engagement at New Scientist Live event. WCB’s Public Engagement Team recently joined forces with the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Parasitology (University of Glasgow) to engage with approximately 10,000 people over 3 days at the spectacular New Scientist Live event at London’s ExCel Centre. Image Lucy Remnant (Earnshaw lab), Anjitha Gireesh (Arulanandam lab) and Cameron Finlayson (Cheerambathur lab) were kindly invited to join 10 researchers from WCIP at their stand to host a range of activities on parasitology and cell biology including; microscope viewing, Lego parasite/cell building, biology based board games, VR experiences and distributing comic books. As well as our ever popular cell biology tattoos, the WCB team supported WCIP staff to design and deliver parasitology tattoos too. A great time was had by the public and the researchers, and the PE Manager from both centres are now looking for more opportunities for cross centre engagement activities.
