 science and biology are invited to exhibit! See registration details below
 . We'll have everything from spectrometers for measuring the colour of pen
 guin guano\, microfluidics for tissue culture\, to ultrasonic systems for 
 measuring plant height and 3D printed modular microscopes. \n\nSpeakers in
