The Brighton Science Festival aims to bring the best science in the world to Brighton with a month of events throughout February. On the weekend of the 11/12th February over 3000 people visited Hove Park School for the Bright Sparks event and the CDT was there to greet them with the largest science display on show. As soon as children and adults were through the door the CDT caught their attention with our Eel Tile display and explained how it works as an innovative solution to the worldwide problem of migrating large eels and very small elvers. We also covered Beaver reintroduction with audiences loving the skull, pelt and gnawed twigs on display. With advanced science through to colouring Beavers there was something for all ages. We hope that many of the children we engaged with over the weekend – and who came up with such interesting questions for our researchers – will keep on questioning and go on to carry out their own research in the years to come.

CDT SIS Director Paul Kemp co-chaired the 2021 Frontiers Symposium, “From seeds to needs – Regenerating ecosystems services to halt the biodiversity crisis”. 🌿🐟 📗Read his thoughts on the event and importance of cross-discipline research. raeng.org.uk/news/blog-post… @Paul_Kemp_Fish
Notice how the reimagined painting is brighter than Van Gogh’s original, gone are the fossil fuel burning factories and the smog-laden skies. In combination with vertical gardens, electric vehicles and greener cities, air quality may be improved. How would you #EngineerTheFuture? Retweeted by CDT - SIS

Well done #TRACE great news that you won a National Recycling Award for your project! @CDTSIS is looking forward to working with you on outreach projects next year! 🎸🌍♻️🎤📱📺 @EnviroTaff @NRAwards twitter.com/EnviroTaff/sta…
The judges praised this project for being glorious and innovative, while targeting a very serious issue. It is so different - the idea of bringing different generations together and combining art and music was fascinating. #NRAwards @NRAwards #TRACE pic.twitter.com/hZB9GL9bow

Complex issues of Sustainable Energy including Hydropower sung from the heart by @drivebytruckers 🐟🐠🌊🎸 Compromise & tradeoffs that underpin the relationship between people and rivers. @UoS_ICER @Paul_Kemp_Fish twitter.com/jjopperman/sta…
To understand the complexity of #rivers, people & #hydropower dams you could study law, engineering & geomorphology.
