About The Event
Claire, Andrew, Eleanor and Kira will be showcasing some of the PRISM project club activities at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM).
Build a brain hat, create a spectroscope, or design a bilateral butterfly and learn about the fascinating lives and careers of LGBTQ+ scientists Ben Barres, Sally Ride and Joan Roughgarden. To celebrate LGBT+ History Month 2026’s theme of ‘Science and Innovation’, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the work of LGBTQ+ scientists through a variety of table-top activities.
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.
