I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here! is back this March. Between the 4th and the 15th, students from nine schools will be putting their questions to six scientists in the Imaging Zone.
For the latest news and announcements about the event, find us on Twitter @imascientist, and follow the hashtag, #IASUK.
The Imaging Zone is a themed zone supported by the Science & Technology Facilities Council.
