Three pioneering research projects involving scientists from the University of Lincoln will feature in a major public exhibition by The Royal Society.
The Royal Society’s prestigious Summer Science Exhibition, which runs from 1st July to 6th July 2014, is the organisation’s premier public engagement event of the year, showcasing cutting-edge science and technology research in accessible and exciting ways.
A trio of academics from the University of Lincoln will be part of this year’s event, revealing their ground-breaking work into cancer treatment, insect sensory biology and training of working dogs.
Professor Nigel Allinson, MBE, from the School of Computer Science, will be showcasing the PRaVDA consortium’s ground-breaking work into cancer treatment, revealing for the first time the new technology (patents pending) they are developing which will improve the range of treatment options available.
Dr Fernando Montealegre-Zapata, from the School of Life Sciences, will be revealing his research into the complex hearing mechanisms of insects.
Professor Daniel Mills and Helen Zulch, from the School of Life Sciences, with Dr Emile van der zee from the School of Psychology, are partners in a project with The Open University. Their exhibit focusses on dog-friendly interactive technology used to support or enhance the performance of working dogs which help humans.
