Scientists of the Future Day

Attendees will have the opportunity to undertake a series of laboratory activities, talk to current University of Reading science students, and explore our beautiful campus. If you enjoy science at school but are not sure if you want to go to university, then this will be an excellent opportunity to find out what it is like. The lab activities you will experience on the day will include: Forensics and DNA: you will get to undertake gel electrophoresis and use micropipettes; real techniques that are used in diagnostic and research labs. Chemistry: Explore the science of equilibria and learn how these relate to the cycles of life. We will also demonstrate just how much energy is stored in sugary sweets! Food & Nutritional Sciences: Have you ever wondered how or why we taste things the way that we do? This session will look to explore this through your sense of taste and smell and start to explain the science behind the phenomena of taste.
