Bringing climate outreach into #TeamAlgae stand at #EdinburghScienceFestival: carbon cycle moly-mod game ('be an algae and fix some solar energy+CO2, or be a human and release them again!')... then for some, a chat about the greenhouse effect, and for some we moved further on to climate action and the #NEB (Scotland has vote for 16yr olds:)
As much for the other scientists there, as for general public - and more accepted on day 2 (table, not floorspace:)

Walking through the foot of the Mound today, I stopped to look at the exhibition celebrating 300 years of Edinburgh Medical School.
It was photographs of alumni of the medical school, and their stories. Some remarkable people. Just a few of the many who have graduated as doctors over 300 years.
They weren't all success stories. Charles Darwin failed to graduate.
And amazing that medicine as we know it is only 300 years old!
