The science behind cartoons & Manchester through the eyes of John Dalton
IOP
19 October 2007
The streets of Manchester will be buzzing with science this week as the Manchester Science Festival kicks off. The institute of Physics (IOP) has been helping ensure that this inaugural festival gets off to a flying start.
On the first day of the festival, Saturday October 20, Printworks held an interactive session for kids and parents about the science behind cartoons. Science Made Simple and the Institute of Physics (IOP) brought the show to Manchester which revealed just how close the impossible in cartoons is to the possible in real science.
Few cities have benefited from scientific advances quite like Manchester and that is why the Institute of Physics (IOP) has helped devise a walking tour of the city centre. Anyone can download the free MP3 to see the city through the eyes of John Dalton, Manchester’s own father of atomic theory.
