More than 270 children took part in this year’s Summer Scientist Week at the University’s Jubilee campus.

The event gives researchers the opportunity to study childhood development in an environment that also gives the children room to play and learn.

One of the organisers, Dr Lucy Cragg said: “This year’s Summer Scientist Week was definitely the best so far, there was a good variety of studies run by researchers from across the University which the children really enjoyed. It’s great that it’s now becoming an unmissable event, not only for the researchers involved but also fomany of the families that take part.”
