About The Event
Drop in to RAMM on 15 Feb, 10.30am-3pm, and follow in the footsteps of:
trans masculine neuroscientist Ben Barres and create a brain hat to discover the different parts of your brain and what they do;
queer astronaut Sally Ride and lesbian astrophysicist Nergis Mavalvala and create a spectroscope to uncover all the colours of light;
trans feminine ecologist and biologist Joan Roughgarden and create your own bilateral butterfly to explore the fascinating phenomena of gynandromorphism.
Each activity will be led by LGBTQ+ scientists from the local PRISM Exeter network, who partnered with Schools OUT to develop schools resources for UK LGBT+ History Month 2026.
