Get brainy with Explore-At-Bristol
Tuesday 11 – Friday 14 March 2008
We all know we have a brain, but do we really understand
the incredible things it does? You can delve into DNA and find out exactly
how our grey matter works from Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 March when
Explore-At-Bristol joins forces with the University of Bristol to get
really brainy.
To celebrate National Brain Awareness Week, stop off at the Inside DNA
exhibition to meet up with team of scientists from Bristol Neuroscience at
the University of Bristol who will be wowing everyone with a wealth of
information about the human brain. They will reveal how it works, what
happens when it doesn’t and just what they are doing to find out more and
more about it.
You can get stuck into some brainy activities too. Try getting touchy
feely to measure just how sensitive you are, or have a go at building pipe
cleaner neurons to communicate with a whole network of cells or even
investigate how big your brain is and how it develops.
If that’s not enough and you want to push your brain cells even harder,
take a trip around the Inside DNA exhibition to find out all about your
health, identity and ancestry, and discover the effect cutting-edge
genomic research will have on us all.
All these brain-taxing activities are free with an admission ticket to
Explore. Tickets are £9.00 for adults, £6.50 for children and concessions
and a family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) costs £26.
Explore is open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 10am – 6pm at
weekends. Last entry is one hour before closing. For more information call
0845 345 1235.
