The Science Inspired Tales are a brand new concept, quite different from the regular conference lectures or workshop sessions. On 23 May 2012, the first series of Science Inspired Tales will see ‘performances’ by three renowned scientists, bringing a personal, fascinating, fun and all the more inspiring scientific story.
The Science Inspired Tales will be recorded before a live audience in a theatre at the venue of the second ESWI Flu Summit. Other than that, the Tales are not related to the Summit. Separate registration for both events is hence possible.Programme
