Join us on a whistle-stop tour of research at The University of Manchester and take part in some great science challenges. Go on a journey through the heart, find out why lotus leaves don’t get wet and snuggle up to some unusual insects. Meet the scientists and engineers behind the research and take part in fun activities throughout the day.
See if you can spot the secret scientists on the streets along Oxford Road between Manchester Metropolitan University and The University of Manchester...
