About the event
Join us at this fun-filled session to learn about the Buzz Map initiative and the nationwide BIOSCAN project, studying insect diversity through genomics in the UK. We will also be running a variety of activities throughout the session such as strawberry DNA extraction, mystery bug identification and much more!
This citizen science project is perfect for anyone who wants to be part of understanding and safeguarding our local insect populations, and especially for anyone looking to learn more about careers in biodiversity science, conservation, or develop skills in science engagement and education.
We will provide training and support during the session - no previous experience is necessary!
