Very excited to start work on this Leverhulme Research Fellowship inspired by public engagement interactions at @CheltSciFest last year, supported by @lboroimpact.
Come and join in the fun at New Scientist Live in October! @newscievents

Just about to start our fourth day of Summer Scientist Week (@NottsSummerSci) at the University of Nottingham (@notts_psych). Three MIRAGE studies taking place this year and everyone is having great fun!

A big thank you to Dan Parsons for taking the time to thank us and Slowcat in person for our efforts making a difference for people at Cheltenham Science Festival 2023. I apologise for the poor photo of the MindBending team; I was distracted by mini eclairs. @lboroimpact

One of my favourites from #CheltSciFest . The family of a @cheltfestivals partner discovering how a person’s body can feel very different to how it looks.

Pretty sure we didn’t look totally shattered before the start of day 6. Not a bit.

Family day today! Lots of people who went to our talk & teachers & children from earlier in the week bringing their families to share the experience! It’s the gift that keeps on giving. @CheltFestivals @LboroSSEHS #CheltSciFest #Illusions

Losing some of the crew today. Over the week, we’ve trained a mixture of DRs, technical support and professional services staff #buildingcapacity in the art of public engagement exhibits and they’ve all been brilliant @LboroSSEHS @lboroimpact

End of another day at #CheltSciFest. Today was a good day for training children, teachers and parents how to use our research at home. Only three days to go. How do you think the team is looking?

Oscar has just invented another new illusion. That’s 4 today during masses Anne Boleyn illusions. This kind of research boost wouldn’t happen without public engagement events like this.

Getting ready for @CheltSciFest. Pretty sure it will look better tomorrow. Looking forward to delivering 20+ different body illusions to a few thousand people this week.
