      this probably answers the question better than I can. Don’t miss the OCEAN lab (people from my research group) stall called Do you see what I see. There will be loads of other really interesting things there too – also dont miss the live final of I’m a Researcher 🙂

      There’ll be events all over Oxford this Friday. I’ll be in the Botanic Gardens in the afternoon, using Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials books to explain quantum physics, and in the evening everyone should come to the I’m a Researcher final!

      It’s a day of public activities to showcase research in Oxford. Sam’s put the link already– check it out. As well as the live final of I’m a Researcher there are loads of excellent events (I’m one of the living library books in the evening!) so come along if you can. And tell other people too!

      And: after the final of I’m a Researcher @Weston Library you will have the chance to talk to researchers in the ‘living library’ starting from 7pm. Some of us, including me, will be there:

      I think Sam and all others already have explained this very nicely. Come along to see us and also other activities. I am also doing a walking tour through science park.

      The others have answered this question really well – I just popped in to say, come and see me at the Living Library event at the Weston Library! I’ll be answering questions about what makes jet engines cool 🙂

      Its the opportunity to see what people are working on in Oxford, meet researchers and generally spark your interest to ask more questions I hope!

      I think all the other researchers have beautifully answered this question already!
      Come and join us celebrate research in Oxford! 😉
      The Living Library will also be a nice opportunity to meet some of us and other researchers. Would like to know more about neurons? Find me in the Living Library after 8pm!
