Members of Bristol Neuroscience will be bringing their subject - and a large quantity of wool - to the public this weekend (25-26 June) in a special event at the Science Museum in London.

Members of Bristol Neuroscience – the University’s network of researchers into the brain and nervous system – will be bringing neuroscience to the public this weekend (25-26 June) in a special event at the Science Museum in London.

As part of the ‘Stitched Science’ weekend, which explores creative ways of sharing the excitement of science, the Bristol contingent will be joining forces with University College London Neuroscience to present ‘Knit a Neuron’ – a yarn-led approach to neuroscience, pioneered by Dr Anne Cooke from Bristol Neuroscience and Dr Helen Featherstone from the University of the West of England.
