Friday 3rd February
19:00-23:00
Fancy getting in touch with your wild side? Want to play with the wild ones in the woods? Are you sure…? Spend a night in the company of the wild ones – hairy ladies, iron men, feral children and others who help us define what it means to be human by testing societal norms. Join the Crick Crack Club to explore who these wild ones are, the function they serve, our myriad reactions to them, and why these potent characters populate our stories, our psyche and our reality.

BSL: Packed Lunch: Social Synchrony
Wednesday 15th February
13:00-14:00
Feed your curiosity at our daytime discussions. Drop in to hear local scientists in conversation about their latest experiments, life in the lab and why science matters to everyone, all in the space of your lunch hour. Bring your sarnies with you to eat while you listen.
Is there such a thing as a group mind, the wisdom of crowds or mob mentality? Doing things in sync with other people creates a social bond, whether that is football fans chanting, soldiers marching or people dancing. Join Jorina von Zimmermann to explore her research into collective synchrony and how it influences individual behaviour and cognition.
