Endorsed by Sir Steve Redgrave, In the zone aims to engage young people as well as the general public with the science of exactly how their body works during sport, exercise as well as movement. I was included as a member of the advisory group to define the experiments as well as set as well as provide concepts as well as advice on the interactive touring exhibition. It was a true multidisciplinary effort with professionals from a range of fields from education to textile innovation to art. I believe the result is remarkable as well as I hope many institutions will get in touch with the Wellcome trust to get the free academic kits (you can see them below).
Make sure you see the website http://www.getinthezone.org.uk/ with all the info about this job in addition to details on exactly how to acquire the free kits for your institution as well as the dates of the touring exhibition.
