The Heart and the Head, the full evening of science, storytelling, and music

An evening of storytelling and music where researchers from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, the Jenner Institute, and Cancer Research UK came together to tell stories about their lives as scientists, with live musical accompaniment. On the 10th of October 2015, The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, with support from Cancer Research UK and The Wellcome Trust, put on an evening of storytelling and music where researchers from the Centre, the Jenner Institute, and Cancer Research UK came together to tell stories about their lives as scientists, with live musical accompaniment from Oxford-based folk band “James Bell and the Half Moon All Stars”. It took place under the dinosaurs at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and our speakers were Irina Pulyakhina (WTCHG), Anna Fowler (WTCHG), Erwan Atcheson (Jenner), Portia Westall (WTCHG), and Daniel Bulte (CRUK).
