Funding round: Michaelmas Term 2024
Brief project outline: We propose to develop a reusable, modular exhibit on human developmental biology designed to educate and spark interest among non-scientist audiences. By integrating artistic and scientific representations, this cross-disciplinary exhibit uses art as a bridge to make complex scientific concepts accessible and interesting to lay audiences. Organised in modules, the exhibit can function as a standalone display or be incorporated into other public events to facilitate complex discussions. This educational resource aims to have a lasting impact by providing Cambridge institutions with a flexible tool for engaging the public and non-STEM academics in developmental and reproductive biology.
