Crick's Olympic science tricks
10 August 2012
The Francis Crick Institute recently organised a group of 'science buskers', including several °×С½ãÂÛ̳ PhD students, to roam around St Pancras International Station and engage members of the public in science tricks.
Science Busking involves approaching people and showing them intriguing and entertaining science demonstrations or tricks - much like street magicians. The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the Crick and the strength of British science among an international audience during the London Olympics.
The °×С½ãÂÛ̳ students involved are Rob Stanley (°×С½ãÂÛ̳ CoMPLEX and Cell & Developmental Biology), Martin O'ReillyÌý (°×С½ãÂÛ̳ CoMPLEX) and Linda Wijlaars (°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Primary Care & Population Health).
