Overview

Interactive talk as part of the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2014

Event details

The cells within the human body exist in tiny, complex worlds working tirelessly in all parts of your body to keep you alive and make you function. What do these tiny world look like and how do cells live and work within them? This talk will delve into these microscopic environments explaining how the billions of cells in your body live and function.  We will also explore how scientists are developing new tools to investigate and rebuild these amazing little worlds. How do cells interact with each other?  Just what does a cell do every day and how do they make my body work?
