Science Busking involves approaching people and showing them intriguing and entertaining science demonstrations or tricks - much like street magicians. The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the Crick and the strength of British science among an international audience during the London Olympics.
The UCL students involved are Rob Stanley (UCL Biochemistry), Martin O’Reilly (UCL CoMPLEX and Cell & Developmental Biology) and Linda Wijlaars (UCL Primary Care & Population Health).
Audiovisual content about the science busking is available below.
