We're preparing the name badges for the 10th Norwich Biosciences Institutes #accessiblescience event on Tuesday, expecting 250 people in the @johninnescentre.bsky.social conference centre including students from local schools (and their teachers including @dewhurst-ben.bsky.social )

A name badge with three interesting facts reading "Ben Dewhurst, I have brewed zombie beer, I accidently invented prunes, I know what koala poo smells like."

This is a work of genius by the brilliant Paula at @norfolkrs.bsky.social

(I mean it's a great newsletter, too - full of links to articles and other interesting stuff, but her intro and song challenge make it absolutely unmissable!)
