19.01.2022 When we heard about students drilling holes in brains while working on their entries into the Oliphant Science Awards, we had to find out more. Year 8 students Issy and Eliza are fitting out artificial brains with LED lights as part of their investigation comparing brain activity when reading in neurotypical and dyslexic brains, while Angela is inquiring into the impact of temperature on the effectiveness of different types of sunscreen. We wish them all the best with their projects!
