Emma, Postdoctoal Research Scientist and Public Engagment Coordinator at NDS, and James, Arthritis Research UK Career Development Fellow at NDORMS, presented their interactive workshop ‘Science of the Skeleton’ to an audience of over 300 people on Wednesday 31 May.
Emma and James dispelled myths and discussed ongoing skeletal research projects investigating how diet, exercise and ageing affect our bones, and younger members of the audience were invited on stage to participate in a series of experiments highlighting the diverse composition of bone.
As well as rubbing shoulders with authors and celebrities, Emma and James were both swamped after the show by people interested in learning more.
