Medical Research: Changing Lives
Come and play one of our DNA games, learn how your body turns food into energy and find out what it feels like to be deaf. Test yourself and explore the science of your bodies with our range of hands-on demos. Age 5-19. http://www.thebigbangfair.co.uk/viewitem.cfm?cit_id=384664
How your body deals with some drugs, Thursday 16 March
All medicines are toxic at some level, but at lower doses are therapeutically beneficial. Used properly, medicines are good and beneficial to life. Abuse is foolish because toxicity will emerge and cause harm. Age 11.16. http://www.thebigbangfair.co.uk/viewitem.cfm?cit_id=384618
DNA: Life and death, Friday 16 March
We’ll explain how DNA can be damaged and help you understand all the health and lifestyle advice that you are bombarded with. Age 11-19. http://www.thebigbangfair.co.uk/viewitem.cfm?cit_id=384627
Thursday and Friday are for school groups, while we welcome families on Saturday.
