the poster for the Maxwell Open Day and some images from the Nano evening...thank you Philipp - ideas around the outreach and community engagement element of the project are progressing. I'm talking at the Making Materials Matter Science Teachers Conference around new materials about my experience with nanoDTC http://www.materials.ox.ac.uk/admissions/schools/teacher-events.html the open day at the Maxwell delivered many conversations http://www.maxwell.cam.ac.uk/maxwell-centre-annual-research-showcase-2017 I'm hoping that positive meetings with Cambridgeshire Festival Bridge, STEM and Cromwell Community College will lead to practical workshops. Just recounting the various contexts where I have talked about the project over the past month; Make:shift conference in Manchester and a Lecture for OCA MA Fine Art students spring to mind.

listeninggogogoandtalking

so much has happened over the past few days - I have had wonderful conversations with a huge number of professors, supervisors and a range of students in wide ranging fields that have taken me to a vast range of theoretical places.

I gave a presentation to the Nano Society  https://www.slideshare.net/l.bicknell/seeing-is-disbelieving which seemed to go down well with lots of comments and questions in the break. The 'art' approach to the world of 'science' is much appreciated and I feel I am achieving a sense of real engagement with what I am offering. My poster for Fridays open day - The Maxwell Annual Showcase looks good and I'm creating a workshop for year 1 students tomorrow around the idea of the experiment.
