National Science and Engineering Week
The Aberdeen Branch of the BA and the ScienceSnaps project joined-up with our local commercial radio station, Northsound 1, to help the breakfast DJs Gregsie and Pete attempt some simple science experiments. The results were predictably hilarious and were broadcast daily during National Science and Engineering Week.
