14.00 Intelligent Plants (talk)
14.30-16.00 Intelligent Plants (drop in)
16.00 Intelligent Plants (talk)
Can we engineer plants to make them 'intelligent'? Can programmed plants tell us when our water supply is contaminated? Come along to find out how the iGEM team could soon be using synthetic biology to create an app for your garden - Monday 27 October 14.00 Growing Bones
Come and hear how scientists at the University of Cambridge are exploring the frontiers of the known interactions between the human body and materials for implantation. - Wednesday 29 October 11.00 Super-tech Surgery
Keyhole surgery saves the lives of thousands of UK patients and significantly reduces their recovery time. Join Rhian Reynolds and see some of the high-tech surgical equipment made by Ethicon that makes this type of surgery possible. - Sunday 2 Nove,ber 14.00-16.00 Glowing Bugs
Glowing bugs?! Learn about the light produced by living organisms, from bacteria to fireflies.
There will also be some great hands-on workshops, exciting new objects to see and much more.
Hope to see you then,
Cambridge Science Centre Team
