RVC professor chosen to create inspiring exhibit
Professor Wilson's area of interest is the locomotion of high-speed animals.
A professor from the RVC has been selected to create an inspiring exhibition that encourages members of the public to think about scientific developments.
Alan Wilson, professor of locomotor biomechanics at the college, is one of a group of leading UK scientists asked to produce an exhibit for public display.
Professor Wilson's areas of interest include the locomotion of high-speed animals, the factors limiting athletic performance and diagnosis and treatment of locomotor dysfunction.
His piece will be titled "Running, jumping and flying: the science and art of animal locomotion".
In total, 17 researchers or teams of scientists have been awarded £10,000 by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to create their exhibit and display it at local events in the coming months.
All of the exhibits will feature at the Great British Bioscience Festival organised by the BBSRC in November.
The festival and exhibits are part of a programme to celebrate the research council's 20th anniversary.
RUMA CA&E has extended the deadline for its online survey into vaccine availability.
