European Researchers Night 27^th September 2019

The Natural History Museum

This year the European Researchers’ Night in London was hosted by the Natural History Museum. I was excited to take part in the event as it was a great opportunity to communicate with the public and share some information about our TOBeATPAIN Horizon2020 EU funded research at King’s. One of the activities which took place during the event, was the ‘EU Pub’.
