Our leading experts on the science of ageing will be inspiring the local community to embrace their inner scientist in a series of free, interactive workshops in Ramsgate this weekend 👴 🔬

The workshops, hosted in collaboration with Discovery Planet, will see Biogerontologist, Dr Jennifer Tullet, and Microbiologist, Dr Emma Hargreaves, run a series of family-friendly activities to introduce the wonderful world of scientific worms, what they can teach us about our own bodies and ways to keep it healthy.

Supported by a number of students and researchers from Dr Tullet’s lab, participants will have the chance to view the worm, C.elegans, under the microscope and examine how the different stages of the worm’s development relate to those of the human lifecycle.

Ever wondered wondered what it's like to work with elite football players? 🤔 ⚽

Meet Kent PhD Student in Sport and Exercise Science, Zacharias (Zachi) Flore, who has spent the last few years of his PhD working with Bundesliga clubs Werder Bremen Frauenfußball and Hamburg1887.

Driven by a passion for athlete recovery, Zachi noticed a gap in evidence-based rehab protocols for players with lateral ankle sprains. So, he developed his own rehabilitation algorithm for use in professional clubs, which needed to be tested on a large scale, which is where his PhD comes in!
