Drop-in Activity: Brilliant Brains

Open to all ages: Come and learn about your brain, what it looks like, how it works and why it's so important. Get involved and decorate your own anatomical brain. Will it be anatomically accurate, or a multi-coloured work of art? This event will be run by Jennifer Paxton, Senior Lecturer and Deputy Head of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh. When she isn't teaching the complexities of the human body, or researching ways to build new body parts, she enjoys inspiring the next generation of scientists through her children's anatomy books and interactive outreach events.
