This year the British Science Festival was held in Aberdeen. This is a great event to engage general public (kids and adults) with science. Every year it visits a different city in the UK and it is a great opportunity to be updated in the latest exciting research findings. The weather in Aberdeen was gorgeous during the festival week and the library enchanted the visitors. There were plenty of talks, debates, seminars, workshops...I went to an evening chat about Mars with space science scientist and BBC presenter Maggie Aderin-Pocock, learnt about the life in the oil rigs with Channel 4 News filmmaker Ed Owles and artist Sue Jane Taylor, discovered the surprising secrets of Giant Land Animals with Prof. John Hutchinson, debated food security issues and found out about Prof. Iain Stewart´s new BBC series.
Three years ago I was starting my PhD and was awarded a grant to attend the British Science Festival 2009 in Guildford, Surrey. I even wrote a blog about it and an article in the in-land Autumn/Winter 2009 newsletter (page 38).
