Welcome to
the Manchester Science Festival 2013. Today we are thrilled to launch our
programme for this year’s Festival, taking place from Thursday 24 October to
Sunday 3 November. Check out our website for all the information or pick up a brochure from MOSI or
loads of venues about the city.
You will
see that this year we have our usual packed family programme of hands-on
activities and workshops to inspire and engage budding young scientists across
Greater Manchester and beyond. There is
also an eclectic mix of events for discerning adults looking for alternative science
(and technology and engineering and maths) entertainment: we’ve got films, plays,
an art exhibition, comedy, some special
brains-themed events and more. We’re
also launching our new citizen science experiment, #Hooked, where you can get
involved to help scientists unlock the secrets as to what makes music catchy.
Over the
next few weeks we’ll be blogging about different aspects of the programme as we
gear up for the events. And if you are a
blogger yourself – we need you! We are
looking for bloggers (or aspiring bloggers) to help us write about, document
and spread the word of our Festival events.
We are holding a special bloggers event at the Brains: The Mind as Matter
exhibition at MOSI on Tuesday 24 September. You can apply and find out more details here.
Manchester
