Patricia Goggin - Neil Mackenzie Award for Public Engagement

CONGRATULATIONS: Patricia Goggin, PhD student supervised by Dr Philipp Schneider (Engineering) and Prof Richard Oreffo (Medicine) won the Neil Mackenzie Award for Public Engagement at the Bone Research Society meeting. The poster 'Bone Deconstructed' contains augmented reality elements, which allow the viewer to use their mobile phone or other device to 'unlock' features. This interactive display has been designed to engage the public and the visualisations hidden within both educate and entertain. The unseen world of bone cells and biomedical imaging are made accessible and more comprehensible to many people through this activity.
