One Cell Made Me
Scientists often find themselves drawing, whether it’s doodling on scrap paper, or sketching ideas on a whiteboard. Join in a range of interactive sessions with biomedical scientists from Queen Mary and artists from Bow Arts Trust and the London College of Fashion to discover just how big an impact drawing can have on science – and vice versa. Organised and managed by Innovation and Enterprise.
Booking on 020 7514 7582 or d.revagliatte@fashion.arts.ac.uk between 3-27 September
Made possible by a Wellcome Trust Arts Award (logo).
