| Results and Impact | Pint of Science is an annual science festival that takes place every May and brings researchers to local pubs to discuss their research with the general public. Our group were invited to speak at the launch event, aimed at giving the public and local media outlets a teaser of what was to come at the main festival. We discussed the background and basics of Y. pestis and presented our research relating to insect models. We then led a side station activity allowing people to view our fleas under the microscope and to discuss any questions raised from the talk. |
