MRC Centenary | Science Festival15 Jun, 2013 to 16 Jun, 2013Science MuseumExhibition RoadUnited KingdomLondonSW7 2DDMore Information:
Life: A Healthy Game of Chance and Choice
Saturday - Sunday, 10am - 6pm
Museum visitors will be able to enter ’Life’ and take their character (pal) on a journey through the years by talking to our scientists and finding out about their amazing research on the brain, viruses and lots more. Visitors will take chances and make choices as they progress through the festival, to create a story for their character of a long and healthy life.
The MRC-Asthma UK Centre in Allergic Mechanisms of Asthma will be asking the following question:
Allergies – does your pal have an allergy? Is there a way to cure it?
Stop. Breathe … and sneeze! Allergies can be exasperating and asthma could affect your pal’s lifestyle. From pollen to peanuts, substances called allergens can cause the body to react in unwanted ways. Find out more by crawling inside a giant nose to discover the allergens that can accumulate there.
