Lots of people want to bottle-feed orang-utans, but few can do time-series analysis on orang-utan population dynamics. So if you want to get into conservation learn a little mathematical modelling
People behind the breakthroughs
At the University of Glasgow we are extraordinarily proud of our dynamic and creative researchers and the vital work they do.
However, there are limited opportunities for the public to learn about the latest science and engineering and to chat with researchers. We want to change that.
We have teamed up with ‘Real Science’ to provide the stories below, which allow you to easily access the real research at the University and to meet the people behind the breakthroughs.
During the festival we will have a range of events where you can meet real scientists and engineers and talk about the latest developments. These will be listed soon once the full 2012 programme has been released.
