Public Engagement
Sharing our science is at the heart of what we do at the Drug Discovery Unit.
While public engagement was a part of our work from the very beginning, we were particularly fortunate to be part of the Wellcome Centre for Anti-Infectives Research throughout its life. Over 8 years, we benefitted hugely from a professional public engagement team, developing activities and connections. This has left us with a fantastic legacy, allowing us to continue in this essential work.
Our work included a huge range of exhibitions in both gallery and museum settings. We also made new theatre, created games, and even set up a new Girlguiding badge.
On these pages you can explore our many projects, enjoy our art and creative work, and even download activity packs to continue enjoying our science. If you find something you enjoy, why not let us know on our social media?
