The Manchester Science Festival will take place this year from 25 October to 2 November.
Two trailblazer events are planned:
“When I’m 164…”: a free debate about the impacts of ageing will be held on Tuesday 14 October, 6.30pm-8.30pm at The Manchester Museum. The debate will examine impacts of ageing populations, how our bodies age, and the need for lifetime homes and communities. There will be three expert angles in on the topic followed by an audience debate. Hosted by Professor Trevor Cox, speakers include Professor Marcus Ormerod (University of Salford), Professor Marco Narici (MMU), and Professor Eileen Fairhurst MBE (MMU).
