The cheek of it!

This drop in activity runs from 12.00 – 18.00
We are made of cells but do cells make us who we are?
Catherine McColgan explores this question in a zine-making drop-in. Each of us are made from over a trillion cells, both human and microbial, all of which look almost identical from person to person. But zoom out and we can see that all of us are different and unique. Taking cells from your own cheek and a microscopic view, interrogate what it means to be human from a different perspective, using science to reflect on our existence as an ecosystem of microbes.
View yourself through lenses of creativity and curiosity and see how you are more than just the sum of your parts.
