Snot, Sick and Scabs

If you have ever caught yourself admiring the contents of your hanky this talk on the more stomach-turning creations of the human body will provide fascinating insight into how they come about (and will give you the excuse to look at your nose's blows more carefully). Discover why cheesy feet smell so terrible, how your body tries to get rid of minute monsters and which high-powered microscopes can spot cancer cells. The sessions also give visitors the chance to watch a show inside a cell-shaped pod which is suspended over the Blizard Institute's laboratories. Within it you can have your cells counted, heal virtual burns, see real body parts and experience medical marvels. Suitable for ages seven and over. Book in advance here.
