Ask the scientist

Today we are launching a new feature on our Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition exhibit pages called Ask the Scientist. This gives you the opportunity to have your questions answered directly by the scientists from some of the exhibits. All you have to do is go to one of the exhibit pages taking part and enter your question to the scientists for that exhibit.

Questions which get selected will be posted online along with the scientist’s answer. All questions will be moderated, but due to the volume of requests, unfortunately not all questions may be selected.

Ask the Scientist will be available until 1 July but the sooner you ask the question, the more likely you are to get an answer, so start thinking of some good questions!

The exhibits taking part in this feature include:
