Living Science at PDN – Cambridge festival
Saturday, 22 March, from 1.30-3pm
PDN Library, Physiology Building, Downing Site.
Come and support the department postdocs when they perform as part of the Cambridge Festival this Saturday.
What is it like to work in a lab, to look through microscopes, or at computer screens, all day – and to contemplate the complex mechanisms that make life flourish? And what do the scientists do, to make life in their own labs flourish? Join the exploration of living science through a series of installations and performances.
From PDN postdocs comes a performative exhibition that tells the scientists’ stories: stories of what it is like to be a researcher focused on molecules, cells, tissues, organs and organisms; stories that explore the vast array of facets in science, from algorithmic pipetting to private and idiosyncratic moments of reflection, from minute cell cultures to complex international movements of researchers and papers. The performative exhibition invites you in, behind the luminous curtain of well-ordered scientific knowledge, to explore what it is like to live in science.
Book your place here or come along on Saturday.
