The science of snot at GuilFest July 13, 2009

The British Science Association team were at GuilFest this weekend promoting the upcoming British Science Festival, taking place down the road at the University of Surrey this September.

Demonstrating the properties of non-newtonian fluids, the team made sticky green snot in pots which was enjoyed by scores of kids (and some adults too!). The team shared a marquis with the University of Surrey, who sponsored the main stage and the acoustic tent at this year’s GuilFest, now in its 18th year at Stoke Park in Guildford, Surrey. 

Now one of the UK’s leading music festivals, GuilFest attracts atleast 20,000 visitors in each of its three days. With 2009 headline acts Motorhead, Happy Mondays and Will Young it attracts a wide range of people from Guildford and the surrounding area and is an excellent place to promote this year’s British Science Festival.

The British Science Festival programme has just been made available online. From hands-on family days to debates on current ‘hot topics’, trips to places of interest and unique opportunities to question the UK’s top scientists, there’s something for everyone.
