Big Biology Day is an annual event at Hills Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge, as part of National Biology Week and in 2016 the Gurdon Institute took part for the first time
Saturday 15th October 2016, Hills Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge
The Gurdon Institute stand was there along with many others for the biggest ever turnout of around 2000 visitors. We introduced children, families and adults to our fruit flies and explained how we use these model animals for research in human disease.
The event was organised by Hills Road Sixth Form College, University of Cambridge Science Festival and Cambridge Biologists.
You can view two of our posters describing why we use flies in research.
