SUMMARY:NISF Regional Roadshow
DESCRIPTION:That’s Non Sense\nExplore the wonderful world of our senses and the tricks they play on us. \nThink you see with your eyes and taste with your tongue? Ever wondered why you get dizzy when you spin? How many senses do you even have? Prepare to be amazed and confounded by sensory and optical illusions in this demo-packed exploration of your brain\, as we discover your senses aren’t quite as simple as they seem… \nHack Your Brain\nA whirlwind introduction to the brain and nervous system! \nPacked with memorable large-scale demos\, you’ll create a giant neuron live on stage to explore how nerve cells communicate. Then\, watch as we hijack those signals to control someone’s movements (preferably a teacher!)! Along the way we’ll investigate what this tells us about how we learn\, helping students to understand their brains better and how to make the most of them. \nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\nThat’s Non Sense (Antrim)\nFriday 17th February 2023\n12:00pm – 1:00pm\nMarket Square\, Antrim\, BT41 4AW\nLink\n\n\nHack Your Brain (Antrim)\nFriday 17th February 2023\n2:30pm – 3:30pm\nMarket Square\, Antrim\, BT41 4AW\nLink\n\n\nThat’s Non Sense (Omagh)\nSaturday 18th February\n12:00pm – 1:00pm\nTownhall Square\, Omagh\, BT78 1BL\nLink\n\n\nHack Your Brain (Omagh)\nSaturday 18th February\n2:30pm – 3:30pm\nTownhall Square\, Omagh\, BT78 1BL\nLink\n\n\nThat’s Non Sense (Armagh)\nSunday 19th February\n12:00pm – 1:00pm\n74-76 Sráid na nGall\, Armagh\, BT61 7LG\nLink\n\n\nHack Your Brain (Armagh)\nSunday 19th February\n2:30pm – 3:30pm\n74-76 Sráid na nGall\, Armagh\, BT61 7LG\nLink\n\n\nThat’s Non Sense (Limavady)\nThursday 16th February 2023\n12:00pm – 1:00pm\n24 Main Street\, Limavady\, BT49 0FJ\nLink\n\n\nHack Your Brain (Limavady)\nThursday 16th February 2023\n2:30pm – 3:30pm\n24 Main Street\, Limavady\, BT49 0FJ\nLink

SUMMARY:Northern Ireland Science Festival
DESCRIPTION:NI Science Festival returns 16 – 26 February 2023 for its ninth edition celebrating the Science of You\, The Universe and Everything in between! \nOver the years NISF has striven to bring the very best of science communication to Northern Ireland\, including notable names such as Brian Cox\, Alice Roberts\, Jim Al-Khalili\, Jocelyn Bell Burnell\, Liz Bonnin\, Robert Winston\, Chris Hadfield\, Chris and Xand Van Tulleken\, Chris Packham\, Adam Rutherford\, Maddie Moate to name a few. \nThe festival offers a stimulating and wide range of events focusing on the wonders of science\, technology\, engineering\, art and mathematics. These events present some of the best scientists from NI and beyond to discuss their work\, cutting-edge research and what the future might hold. \nDuring the day\, the festival offers a range of workshops\, tours talks and interactive activities for people of all ages. In the evening we present an eclectic mix of experiential events including scientific debate\, talks\, theatres\, comedy\, music\, and film for adults and much more.

SUMMARY:Biomedical Research in Action!
DESCRIPTION:Become a scientist for the afternoon at the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine (WWIEM) and enjoy a range of demonstrations and interactive research activities! \nOur mission is to understand the mechanisms of disease and use that understanding to develop new tests and treatments to improve patients’ lives. This is a great chance to find out all about the work of local scientists who are leading the way in research into vision and vascular disease\, respiratory medicine and the immune system and its interactions with microbes.

SUMMARY:So You Want to be a Biomedical Scientist?
DESCRIPTION:Find out what it’s like to be a biomedical scientist as researchers including a PhD student\, postdoctoral fellow and principal investigator talk about their work and various career paths. There’ll be a chance to ask them any questions\, while various teaching staff will also be on hand to explain the opportunities available within QUB. \nWe’ll then split into subgroups and go for a tour of the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine (WWIEM) building\, including the microscopy facility. The tours will then return to the open event in the WWIEM atrium\, where Biomedical Research in Action will be on display from 1pm-5pm.
