I’m a Scientist Towers is buzzing with excitement as the Wellcome Trust funded Biomedical themed zones have been chosen. They will be:

  • Animal Behaviour Zone
  • Agriculture Zone
  • Drug Development Zone
  • Infectious Diseases Zone
  • Protein Zone
  • Vision Zone

The June event will run 16th–27th June 2014.

Update: 8 April 2014
The planned Brain Zone has been swapped for the Protein Zone to coincide with the latest issue of the Wellcome Trust’s Big Picture. Brain scientists, please still apply; we need scientists from all research areas for the General Zones, and we’re sure to run a Brain Zone in a future event!

Apply now to take part!

Are these zones not for you? Fear not!

This June we’ll be back with a whole range of themed zones funded by the STFC, the RSC, and more. There will be two Zones as part of the I’m a Scientist Big Data Season, and of course, a whole host of general science zones (including Primary School Zones).

We’ll announce more themed zones as they are decided. Follow @imascientist on Twitter for the latest updates and announcements. Our hashtag for 2014 is #IAS2014.
