Think you’ve got a fox’s nose? Problem-solving skills like a crow? Join researchers from the University of Glasgow for an action-packed adventure where you’ll put your supersenses and supersmartness to the test - just like the incredible wildlife thriving in our cities. 

Test your supersenses was developed as part of Glasgow Science Festival in Action, a training scheme run by GSF to support University of Glasgow PhD students to develop their public engagement skills. The team of PhD students from the Colleges of Science & Engineering and Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences were briefed to create family-friendly activities linked to the festival theme, Glasgow Celebrates. Luis Zambrano Hernandez, Karen Leahy, Wamorkar Aayushi Prashant, Jack James Revill Hayward, Teodor Cristian Paunica and Angus Cowley-Semple did an amazing job and we hope you enjoy the activities.
