Six UCL scientists are taking part in the 2011 I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here!: an award-winning science enrichment and engagement activity, funded by the Wellcome Trust.  It’s an X Factor-style competition for scientists, where students are the judges. Scientists and students talk online on the website below. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn.
