Something in the Air

An interactive science show all about air pollution – invisible to the naked eye, how much does it really affect us? What is it? Can we measure it? How can it affect our cells and our bodies? Can we avoid it?

Each session offers the opportunity to take part in a Pod show inside our cell-shaped Pod, suspended over the laboratories of the Blizard Institute. Once inside, you will learn about the amazing world of cells, the human body and the latest medical research. You can try your hand at virtual experiments, heal extensive virtual burns and have your cells counted. You also get to see real body parts and diagnose cancer using high-power microscopes.
