Sensory Science

The exhibit is suitable for the blind and low vision community, or anyone who wants a new perspective on sci-art.

“Sensory Science” is a science communication art concept, started by Professor Jamie Rossjohn and Dr Erica Tandori in Melbourne, Australia, making its way for the first time to the UK. The project aims to communicate science in a multi-sensory manner, to make the exhibit more inclusive to people with disabilities, with a particular focus on the blind and low vision community.

In the Sensory Science Cambridge, Dr Tandori has teamed up with four groups of scientists at the Department of Pathology, in the University of Cambridge, and artists from Anglia Ruskin University, to create a unique series of sci-art exhibits focused around Neuroimmunology, Intracellular Bacteria, Coeliac Disease and Cervical Cancer. The art works they have created showcase the key concepts and recent research in these areas of Pathology, in a multi-sensory, tactile and audio manner.
